How to check compatibility
Verify your laptop model matches our compatibility list above. Check your current battery’s part number (usually printed on the battery) or use Lenovo’s official support centre website with your serial number.
When to replace
Replace your battery when it no longer holds sufficient charge for your needs, shows physical damage, or reaches 2-3 years of regular use. Most batteries degrade significantly after 500 charge cycles.
Installation guide (overview)
Power off your laptop and disconnect the charger. Remove the bottom panel (usually secured with screws), disconnect the old battery connector, remove mounting screws, install the new battery, reconnect the connector, and reassemble. Always refer to your specific model’s service manual.
Usage & care tips
Keep your battery between 20-80% charge for optimal lifespan. Avoid extreme temperatures (ideal range 15-25°C). Store in a cool, dry place when not in use for extended periods. Calibrate your battery monthly by fully charging and discharging.
Safety & recycling in AU/NZ
Never attempt to open or modify the battery. Dispose of old batteries at authorised recycling centres – most electronics retailers in Australia and New Zealand offer free battery recycling services. Do not dispose of in household waste.
