disconnected from the main power source. If you want to replace it with a new
one, contact your place of purchase or ask for a repair service provided by Lenovo.
If you have replaced it by yourself and want to dispose of the disused lithium

instructions. If you use a Lenovo computer at home and need to dispose of a
