How can I tell if my computer's battery is in good condition?
Over time batteries lose their ability to maintain their full charge. If your battery isn't lasting as long as it once did, it may be time to replace it.
Check your battery's condition
- On your Lenovo laptop, go to Control Panel → Lenovo Solution Center and click the System tab.
- In the system tab, click Battery.
This displays the battery's condition. Batteries in good condition should be able to hold most of their full capacity. As batteries age, they lose the ability to hold their full charge.
Replacing your battery
There are a few options for replacing your battery, depending on the battery's condition and warranty status.
If the battery is in:
| Condition | Warranty Status | Replacement |
| Poor | Within Warranty | Free of charge |
| Poor | Out of Warranty | Purchase with charge code |
| Good | Within Warranty | Purchase with charge code |
If the battery is in poor condition and within its warranty, please contact the helpdesk so the battery can be replaced.
