Batteries

DANGER

Personal computers manufactured by Lenovo contain a coin cell battery to

provide power to the system clock. In addition, many mobile products, such as

notebook computers, utilize a rechargeable battery pack to provide system power

when in portable mode. Batteries supplied by Lenovo for use with your product

have been tested for compatibility and should only be replaced with approved

parts.

Note: This system does not support batteries that are not genuine Lenovo-made

or authorized. The system will continue to boot, but may not charge

unauthorized batteries.

Never attempt to open or service any battery. Do not crush, puncture, or

incinerate batteries or short circuit the metal contacts. Do not expose the battery

to water or other liquids. Only recharge the battery pack strictly according to

instructions included in the product documentation.

Battery abuse or mishandling can cause the battery to overheat, which can cause

gasses or flame to "vent" from the battery pack or coin cell. If your battery is

damaged, or if you notice any discharge from your battery or the buildup of

foreign materials on the battery leads, stop using the battery and obtain a

replacement from the battery manufacturer.

Batteries can degrade when they are left unused for long periods of time. For

some rechargeable batteries (particularly Lithium Ion batteries), leaving a battery

unused in a discharged state could increase the risk of a battery short circuit,

which could shorten the life of the battery and can also pose a safety hazard. Do

not let rechargeable Lithium-Ion batteries completely discharge or store these

batteries in a discharged state.
