Introduction

The battery must deliver a large amount of energy to the device in order to power it. This energy is stored in its chemical form inside the battery. Because of this, the internal components of the battery are volatile and dangerous if damaged. Be sure to use caution when removing the battery and keep it away from any excessive heat sources once removed.

Before beginning, make sure you power off the device, allow it to discharge over the course of a couple days, and make sure the laptop is closed for an easier and safer replacement.
