Battery Safety
• This device contains either a built-in or removable (cartridge) lithium-ion rechargeable
battery. Battery safety is a significant concern when repairing a device.
• For optimum compatibility, performance, and product safety, we recommend using
genuine Microsoft replacement parts. Use of non-Microsoft (non-genuine), incompatible,
reused, or modified batteries; improper battery installation; improper handling or storage
of batteries; and/or failure to follow the instructions in this Guide could cause battery
overheating, expansion, venting, leaking, or a thermal event which could result in fire,
serious personal injury, death, data loss, or damage to the device or other property
damage.
• Before beginning device repair, ensure your workspace is free of flammable debris or
materials, has adequate ventilation, and that you have a fire suppressant device (example:
fire blanket, container of sand, Class B fire extinguisher) within easy reach or you are within
20 feet of a fireproof enclosure. Fireproof enclosures should be kept free of combustible or
flammable materials.
• Use personal protective equipment (PPE) when handling damaged, venting, or hot battery
packs.
• Use the following best practices when handling batteries:
▪ Always fully discharge batteries by running an application such as video
playback with the device unplugged. If the device does not function while
unplugged, you may leave out this step.
▪ Do not puncture, impact, strike, bend, or crush the battery or a device
containing a battery.
▪ Keep your workspace clear of debris, extra tools, and sharp objects.
: Only handle battery by plastic enclosure. Bending, twisting, or impacting
battery may damage the battery, damage the device, and/or result in severe personal
injury or property damage. Always use two hands when handling the battery.
