The lifespan<\/strong> of your Lenovo laptop<\/strong> battery<\/strong> is limited. As the years and usage go by, the time will come when it no longer holds a charge<\/strong>. Your battery<\/strong> will then lose its usefulness<\/strong>. When that day<\/strong> comes, don\u2019t panic. Get yourself a powerful<\/strong>, compatible<\/strong> replacement battery<\/strong> for your laptop<\/strong> and the problem will be solved<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

When should you replace the battery in your Lenovo laptop?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Heavy use of your laptop<\/strong> is what causes the rapid wear<\/strong> of its battery<\/strong>. Using power-hungry software<\/strong> and features such as video games<\/strong> and your Internet<\/strong> connection<\/strong> also contributes to this.<\/span><\/p>\n

Every time the battery is empty<\/strong>, we all tend to plug it in straight away so we can keep using the laptop<\/strong>. Unfortunately, this habit is not without consequences. A battery\u2019s lifespan and battery life decrease<\/strong> as it is repeatedly discharged<\/strong> and recharged<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The battery<\/strong> in a Lenovo laptop<\/strong><\/a> will generally start to weaken after around 18<\/strong> to 24 months<\/strong> of use. Its charge will drop from 100% to 0%<\/strong> in under 2 hours<\/strong>. This is unavoidable, even if you only use it for basic office tasks. When the loss of capacity<\/strong> becomes more severe, your laptop<\/strong> will only start when it is plugged into the mains.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In general, the battery in a Lenovo laptop<\/strong> is designed for around 3,000<\/strong> charge cycles<\/strong>. Once this number is reached, the battery becomes unusable<\/strong>. As a reminder, one cycle<\/strong> is equivalent to a full<\/strong> charge from 0 to 100%<\/strong> (4 successive 25% charges therefore make up one cycle<\/strong>).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The battery<\/strong> in Lenovo<\/strong> laptops<\/strong> can also be rendered unusable independently of its built\u2011in lifespan. This can happen if it has been damaged<\/strong> by a power surge<\/strong>, overheating<\/strong> or a short circuit<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

How to find a compatible battery for your Lenovo laptop\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Remove the battery<\/strong> from your laptop<\/strong>. This is a fairly simple job that even someone with no experience can manage. Here are the steps to follow.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Step 1\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Save any work in progress. Shut down the laptop<\/strong>, then unplug it<\/strong>. Place it on a clear, flat table.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Step 2\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Remove the old<\/strong> battery<\/strong>. On older models such as the G50-30<\/strong>, the battery is removable<\/strong> and held in place by clips. To remove it, simply turn the laptop<\/strong> over and slide it out of its bay while pushing the clips aside. Note down the information you need to find a battery<\/strong> with the same technical specifications: model<\/strong>, capacity<\/strong>, power<\/strong>, voltage<\/strong>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

On more recent models such as the Lenovo Yoga C940<\/strong>, the battery is located inside. To remove it, you must undo<\/strong> all the screws<\/strong> on the bottom cover. Remember<\/strong> where each screw belongs so you don\u2019t miss any when refitting.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Next, open the laptop<\/strong> as if you were going to use it. Remove the keyboard<\/strong>, using a rigid plastic card as a lever. You will need to remove<\/strong> more screws to be able to detach<\/strong> the bottom cover. Once the bottom cover is off, you will have access to the battery<\/strong>, which is located on the screen<\/strong> side. Disconnect it and read the information<\/strong> you need to find a compatible<\/strong> model.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
