Introduction
A battery is a component of the laptop that provides power. Due to overuse and time, laptop batteries will be worn out and rapidly drain after being charged a repeated amount of time. If the battery is worn out and draining rapidly, consider replacing the battery to help the laptop perform to its highest functionality.
Before starting this guide, please be sure to review the troubleshooting page for extra information on battery hazards.
Please make sure the laptop is turned off and disconnected from the charging adapter before you begin the repair.
