The battery is a critical component that keeps your device powered. It supplies energy to all parts of the laptop and must hold a charge long enough to make the device portable.

If your laptop can’t hold a charge or must remain plugged in to stay on, the battery is likely the cause.

This guide shows how to replace the battery in a Lenovo IdeaPad L340-15API.

Before you begin, power off the laptop and disconnect the charging adapter and any external peripherals.
