Asus F555LA-AB31 Battery Replacement

Introduction

If your Acer Aspire 4741G-332G32Mn is not holding its charge, it probably needs a battery replacement. These instructions will help you to quickly remove the battery with minimal skill or effort.

When a battery is working correctly it should provide the laptop with power for several hours without being plugged into a power source. After several cycles of being charged, the battery will begin to lose the ability to hold a charge. You can check the charging capacity by calibrating your battery. If there is a drop in the battery percentage, you should consider replacing the battery.

Be sure the laptop is powered off before replacing its battery.

Take appropriate precautions if the battery is swollen. Beware of punctured batteries as they can cause fires.

Please also note that these instructions follow the CD drive removal guide.
