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 locate your laptop model number on the bottom case or under the battery compartment.
When to replace
Replace your battery when it no longer holds a sufficient charge for your needs, shows physical damage, or your system indicates battery health is poor. Most laptop batteries last 2-4 years with regular use.
Installation guide (overview)
Power off your laptop and disconnect all cables. Remove the bottom panel (consult your laptop’s manual for specific instructions). Disconnect the old battery connector and remove any mounting screws. Install the new battery, reconnect the connector, and reassemble your laptop.
Usage & care tips
Avoid extreme temperatures (ideal range 15-25°C). Don’t leave your laptop plugged in constantly – occasional discharge cycles help maintain battery health. Store in a cool, dry place when not in use for extended periods.
Safety & recycling in AU/NZ
Never attempt to open or modify the battery. Damaged batteries should be disposed of properly at authorised recycling centres. In Australia, check with your local council for battery recycling options. In New Zealand, use designated battery recycling facilities.
