Replacing the battery pack

When the battery pack reaches the end of its operating life you will need to

install a new one. If the Battery indicator flashes orange shortly after fully

recharging the battery, the battery pack needs to be replaced.

You might also replace a discharged battery pack with a charged spare

when you are operating your computer away from an AC power source.

This section explains how to remove and install battery packs.
