Introduction

The battery is a component within the laptop that powers up the device. Over time, the device can lose its ability to hold a charge by up to 20% after 1,000 charges.

Before using this guide check out the Lenovo IdeaPad 320-17IKB Troubleshooting page for helpful diagnostic information. Often times the battery can be fixed without replacing it.

For your safety, discharge your battery below 25% before disassembling your device. This reduces the risk of a dangerous thermal event if the battery is accidentally damaged during the repair. If your battery is swollen, take appropriate precautions.
