Most of these batteries are internal to the system, meaning customers cannot replace them themselves. HP will provide free  HP battery replacement through authorized technicians. HP has also released a BIOS update that adds batteries affected by the expansion plan. An updated BIOS puts the battery into Battery Safe Mode, allowing you to use the computer or workstation without the battery by connecting the HP power adapter. Batteries affected by this recall should immediately enter “battery safety mode.”  


“Battery Safety Mode” is only available for HP products affected by this recall program. If the verification process indicates that the battery is eligible for replacement, a BIOS update should be applied and the system restarted. During the restart process, the option to enable ”  HP BatterySafe Mode” will appear. Accept that enabling Battery Safe Mode will cause the battery to discharge and stop future charging capabilities until Battery Safe Mode is disabled. HP strongly recommends that you accept Battery Safe Mode to safely use your notebook or mobile workstation with an HP power adapter connected.
