with a 5-year life span is available from HP. Order 1420-0513 from your
authorized reseller.)

installed. For your safety, never attempt to recharge,
disassemble, or burn the old battery. Replace only with the
same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer.
Dispose of used batteries safely.
