The battery that comes with your computer provides power to the
real-time clock and has a lifetime of about three years. When
replacing the battery, use an equivalent 3-volt lithium coin cell
battery.
WARNING:
Your computer contains an internal lithium
manganese dioxide, vanadium pentoxide, or alkaline battery or
battery pack. There is a risk of fire and burns if the battery pack
is not handled properly. To reduce the risk of personal injury:
Do not attempt to recharge the battery.
Do not expose to temperatures higher than 60°C (140ºF).
Do not disassemble, crush, puncture, short external contacts, or
dispose of in fire or water.
Replace only with the Compaq spare designated for this product.
Batteries, battery packs, and accumulators should not be
disposed of together with the general household waste. In order
to forward them to recycling or proper disposal, please use the
public collection system or return them to Compaq, your
authorized partners, or their agents.
