A non-removable laptop battery doesn't mean you have to throw away the device if it fails. In fact, it can't be replaced by the user, but requires a professional technician to replace it.

Why did Lenovo use non-removable batteries in the early days?

In the beginning, mobile phone manufacturers integrated the battery into the phone and designed it to be non-removable to reduce the problem of poor battery contact, prevent users from mixing batteries, and restrict users from changing the system on their own. However, this also led to higher costs for users when replacing batteries. The consideration of mobile phone manufacturers is that the replacement speed of mobile phones is very fast, and by the time users need to replace the battery, the phone is often scrapped. Therefore, instead of replacing the battery, it is better to buy a new phone directly, which not only speeds up the replacement speed of mobile phones, but also speeds up the turnover of capital, thereby achieving faster profits.

This idea was soon applied to the production of laptops. Many mobile phone manufacturers, such as Huawei and Redmi, entered the laptop market. At the same time, some brands that originally focused on laptops, such as Lenovo and Asus, also began to get involved in mobile phone production. These manufacturers quickly introduced the concept of integrated mobile phone batteries into laptops, believing that consumers would choose to buy a new laptop directly when the laptop battery needs to be replaced, just like they would a mobile phone.

In fact, the replacement speed of laptops is not as fast as that of mobile phones. However, this does not prevent laptop manufacturers from accelerating the pace of launching new products, nor does it affect their strategy of firmly soldering the battery to the motherboard. This practice forces users to replace new laptops, thereby speeding up the capital turnover of manufacturers and bringing considerable profits.

After all, the high integration of laptop batteries is not a product of high technology, but a means to promote the upgrading of laptop computers, so that people would rather buy a new laptop than go through the trouble and spend money to replace an expensive battery.

In order to pursue lightness and portability, Lenovo's early laptops used non -removable embedded batteries. But the thinner the laptop, the better the performance. In fact, the opposite is true.

The convenience of a removable battery

With the development of technology, Lenovo has gradually tried the design of removable batteries on some high-end or specific series of laptops. This design usually increases the thickness and weight of the laptop, but it provides users with greater flexibility, such as quick replacement when the battery is low, or choosing batteries of different capacities according to usage needs.

Most models of Lenovo laptop batteries use a snap-on or slot-type installation method, which is much more convenient than the non-removable version. To replace the battery, you only need to press or snap it lightly to complete the installation or removal.

In order to help users know the battery replacement status in a timely manner, some models of Lenovo notebooks are equipped with a battery replacement indicator light inside the computer.

The battery replacement method of different Lenovo laptop models is generally consistent. This consistency allows users to better understand the operation process when replacing the battery and avoid operational difficulties caused by model differences.

How to Remove Lenovo Laptop Battery

Before we start, we put the computer, the screwdriver, and the battery together for easy use. The tutorial for changing the battery has three steps in total. Let's take a look at it together!

 Step 1

Remove the back cover. First, open the newly purchased battery and put it in the spare area for later use. Use the corresponding screwdriver to remove the screws on the back cover of the computer one by one and put them in the spare area. Because the screws are all the same size, the screws can be mixed when removing the back cover battery.

After all the screws are removed, use the disassembly tool to disassemble along the edge of the laptop. After removing the back cover, you can see the internal structure of the laptop. If the laptop fan is obviously dusty, you can use an air blower to simply clean the two fans.

 Step 2

Replace the battery. There is a battery power cable under the laptop. Disconnect the battery power cable. Unscrew the four screws that secure the laptop battery and place them on the fixing pad in order.

Remove the old battery and connect the new battery cable to the computer motherboard. The four screw holes on the computer should correspond to the four screw holes on the motherboard and tighten the four screws.

Put the back cover of the computer on and gently press it down until you hear the sound of the snaps closing. Check all around and then tighten the screws.

 Step 3

The computer starts up normally and the battery replacement is complete.
