<h1>Replacing the Battery
</h1>
<p>You do not need to remove the battery unless it is faulty. For example, a faulty battery might not charge, or might lose its power very quickly. Here are instructions for removing a faulty battery.
</p>
<h2>Removing the battery
</h2>
<ol>
  <li>Shut down the XO by going to the Home View, clicking the XO icon, and then clicking Shutdown.</li>
  <li>Close the lid, and turn the XO over, so that the XO logo is on the underside.
  <br /></li>
  <li>Slide the right-hand side catch further to the right. It does not come off.

  <br />
  <br /></li>
  <li class="listnumber">Slide the left-hand side catch further to the left. Note that this catch is spring loaded so you must hold it in the desired position.
  <br /> <img title="2Battery" alt="2Battery" src="./OLPC_simple/Battery/.resized_200x162_2Battery.png" height="162" width="200" /></li>
  <li class="listnumber">Lift the battery out from the central indentation between the two catches.
  <br /> </li>
</ol>To re-insert the battery, refer to the Charging chapter.
<h2>Locating a battery for replacement
</h2>
<p>Refer to <a href="http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Directory_of_repair_centers">wiki.laptop.org/go/Directory_of_repair_centers</a> to get to the most recent directory of repair centers, and ask for a replacement battery for your XO.
</p>
