My Aspire 5742 recommends replacing the battery, but what size/type battery do I need?

I can't find anything in settings or anywhere on the PC that gives me the needed information.

    Thx for the list, but I guess this means I do have to open up the PC in order to know what the original part was? Is there anything special I need to do to make this change ?

    Hello,

     

    First all part numbers stated in my previous message are compatible with your laptop. I gave you a link (word in green: battery). You don't need to remove the bottom but just to replace the battery as that's shown in the attachment. It's very simple.

    Thanks much everyone - easier than I thought it would be, and cheaper.

    I didn't see the word battery in green until after I sent me post.

    Just ordered my replacement battery.  Thanks again
