LENOVO T470S BATTERY NEW

The Lenovo ThinkPad T470s uses a removable battery that can be replaced or upgraded as needed. Here are some key details about the T470s battery:

Battery Specifications:
Battery Types:

Integrated Battery: The T470s typically features a built-in battery that is not user-replaceable in the traditional sense, meaning it is designed to be replaced by a technician or at a service center.
External Battery: There is an optional external (or slice) battery that can be attached to the bottom of the laptop to extend battery life further. This type of battery is removable and can be swapped out easily.
Battery Capacity:

Standard Battery: The primary battery is usually a 3-cell or 6-cell lithium-ion battery. The 6-cell battery typically provides longer battery life compared to the 3-cell option.
Extended Battery: The external battery, if used, can be a 3-cell or 6-cell extension to the internal battery, providing additional runtime.
Battery Life:

Battery life can vary based on usage, configuration, and battery health. Generally, you can expect around 6-12 hours of use with the standard battery, depending on the configuration and workload. Using an extended battery can provide significantly more runtime.
Replacing or Upgrading the Battery:
Replacing the Battery:

Integrated Battery: If the integrated battery needs replacement due to degradation or failure, it usually requires professional service. This involves opening the laptop and replacing the battery, which is best done by Lenovo support or a certified technician.
External Battery: If you have an external battery (slice), it can be easily removed and replaced by sliding it off the laptop or detaching it from its connector.
Battery Maintenance:

Calibration: Occasionally calibrating the battery (fully charging and then fully discharging) can help maintain accurate battery life estimates.
Care: Keep the battery in a cool, dry environment and avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures to prolong its lifespan.
