Introduction

The battery does not get in the way of most repairs, however, the battery supplies a constant power to the motherboard even when the laptop is turned off. It is imperative, to avoid damaging any computer components, that the battery is removed.

If there is a burnt smell coming from the laptop or the laptop battery is very warm to the touch, use this guide to remove it immediately to prevent the battery from overheating, failing, and potentially exploding.

IMPORTANT: if the battery is ‘‘‘swollen’’’ or the shape is irregular, stop whatever you are doing and allow the battery to slowly discharge itself before removing it from the laptop casing.
