Common signs you need a replacement

How to check compatibility

Finding your exact ASUS model number is crucial for battery compatibility. For ASUS ROG and premium laptops like the G751 series, check these locations:

• Bottom case label: Turn your laptop over and look for the model number printed on the sticker near the battery compartment
• System Information: Press Windows Key + R, type “msinfo32”, and check System Model
• Command Prompt: Open Command Prompt and type “wmic csproduct get name”
• Original battery: Remove the current battery and check the part number printed on it
• ASUS Support Centre: Visit the official ASUS support website and use their compatibility checker tool

All G751 series models (JL, JM, JT, JY) and specific 0B110 models are compatible with the A42N1403 battery. If your model matches any in our compatibility table above, you’re good to go.

When to replace

Most ASUS laptop batteries last 2-3 years with regular use. Consider replacement when:

• Battery runtime drops below 60% of original capacity
• Your laptop shuts down unexpectedly at 20-30% charge
• You notice physical swelling or deformation
• The battery won’t charge beyond 80% consistently
• You experience frequent overheating during charging cycles

For gaming laptops like the ROG series, battery degradation can accelerate due to high power demands during gaming sessions.

Installation guide

Replacing your ASUS battery is straightforward with these steps:

1. Safety first: Shut down your laptop completely and disconnect the AC adapter
2. Prepare workspace: Work on a clean, static-free surface with good lighting
3. Access battery compartment: For most ASUS ROG models, flip the laptop over and locate the battery release latches
4. Remove old battery: Slide the release latches to unlock the battery, then gently lift it out of the compartment
5. Install new battery: Align the new A42N1403 battery with the connectors, press firmly until it clicks into place
6. Initial charge: Connect the AC adapter and charge the battery completely before first use
7. Calibration: Use the battery until it reaches 10%, then charge to 100% without interruption

Important: Some ASUS models may require removing the bottom panel to access the battery. If unsure, consult the official ASUS service manual for your specific model.

Usage & care tips

Maximise your new ASUS battery’s lifespan with these practices:

• Avoid extreme temperatures: Keep your laptop between 10°C and 35°C for optimal battery health
• Partial discharges: Instead of full discharge cycles, recharge when battery reaches 20-30%
• Storage advice: If storing long-term, charge to 50% and store in a cool, dry place
• Gaming considerations: For extended gaming sessions, consider using AC power to reduce battery cycles
• Regular calibration: Perform a full discharge/charge cycle every 2-3 months to maintain accurate battery reporting
• Power settings: Use ASUS Power4Gear Hybrid or Windows battery saver mode for everyday use
