How to check compatibility
Verify your laptop model matches our compatibility list above. Check your current battery part number (located on the battery label) against our reference numbers. For P72/P73 models, ensure you’re purchasing the correct 99Wh capacity variant.
When to replace
Replace your battery when runtime drops below 2 hours for normal use, when Lenovo Vantage shows health below 70%, or after 2-3 years of regular use. Swollen batteries require immediate replacement for safety.
Installation guide (overview)
Power off and unplug your laptop. Remove the bottom cover (consult your user manual). Disconnect the battery connector and remove mounting screws. Install the new battery, reconnect, and reassemble. Allow full charge before first use.
Usage & care tips
Avoid extreme temperatures (ideal range 10-35°C). Don’t leave laptop plugged in constantly – occasional discharge cycles help maintain battery health. Store in cool, dry conditions when not in use for extended periods.
Safety & recycling in AU/NZ
Never attempt to open or modify batteries. Dispose of old batteries at authorised collection points – most electronics retailers offer free battery recycling. In Australia, check B-cycle locations; in New Zealand, use recognised e-waste facilities.
