The computer has different types of batteries.

Battery pack

When the AC adaptor is not connected, the computer's main power source

is a removable lithium ion battery pack, also referred to in this manual as

the main battery. You can purchase additional battery packs for extended

use of the computer away from an AC power source although you should

not change the battery pack while the AC adaptor is connected.
Before you remove the battery pack, save your data and shut down the

computer, or place the computer into Hibernation Mode. Please be aware

that, when placing the computer into Hibernation Mode, the contents of

memory will be saved to the hard disk drive, although for safety sake, it is

best to also save your data manually.

properly, you should contact your reseller or dealer.
