    Hello,

     

    Here is the part number of the original battery (only one capacity):

    Spoiler
    KT.00403.025BATTERY.LI-ION.4C.2520mAh (Sanyo)
    KT.00403.034BATTERY.LI-ION.4C.2520mAh (Sanyo)

    You have to remove the ODD module and the bottom of the laptop to access to the battery.

    Hi,

    Your model came only with 4cell battery, if you are thinking of upgrading to a larger battery, it won't fit due to space constraint and design IMHO but others may have different opinion, I would suggest you to saty with 4cell battery. Compare these pictures for the size of the MBs of E5-575G & E5-574G.

    WOW! Thank you! I've never had a laptop where you had to remove the back to change a battery!! I was hoping to get one with a longer life. It looks challenging. Thanks for your information.
