Avoid forcing the battery into position. 9 Turn the computer right side up and lock the battery release latch. 10 Reconnect any cables. 11 Restart the computer. For information on changing a battery in a Slim SelectBay module, see "Using Slim SelectBay modules" on page 66. Taking care of your battery The following sections offer tips on how to take care of your battery and prolong its life. Safety precautions Never try to disassemble a battery pack. Never overcharge or reverse charge a battery. Overcharging will shorten its life and reverse charging could destroy it, causing the release of toxic fumes. Avoid touching the metal terminals of the battery with another metal object. Short circuiting the battery will cause it to overheat and may do permanent damage. Never incinerate a spent battery as this will cause it to explode releasing toxic materials. If a battery is leaking or damaged, replace it immediately. Use protective gloves when handling a damaged battery.
