Important notices for replacing the batteries

Attention: Lenovo has no responsibility for the performance or safety of unauthorized batteries, and provides no warranties for failures or damage arising out of their use.

Lenovo provides a diagnostic program to do an automatic battery diagnostic test, which can determine if the removable battery is defective. A removable battery FRU should not be replaced unless this diagnostic test shows that the battery is defective. The only exception to this is if the battery is physically damaged or a customer is reporting a possible safety issue.

If no diagnostic program is installed on the computer, the customer should download and install the program to diagnose the battery, before getting a non-physically damaged battery replaced. Note that the replacement of a physically damaged battery is not covered by the warranty.
