Can anyone tell me what battery is used in the W510 dock?  I got this lovely refurbished tablet free from an Emachines class action suit but it had no battery in the dock.  I wondered if it was a part of the refurbishing that "removed" the battery or failed to connect it, but I've since learned that some later models have no battery.  Does anyone have info or pic of an opened dock that would show the battery model and where it's connected?  Can one be added that has none?  I've opened the dock and there IS NO BATTERY inside, just an empty space where one might have been.  Thanks !

    Hello,

     

    Could you give me the first ten characters of the tablet serial number (S/N)? Only the first ten.

    Hello,

     

    This is the same battery that the tablet:

    Note:

    One for the docking station and one for the tablet.

    The empty space in the center of the dock has a heavy steel bracket that's attached with double sided tape.  The space is 6 3/4 x 4 1/4 inch ( 172mm x 115mm) just the size of the tablet battery but I don't see ANY connector to attach the battery.  Thanks for confirming the dock battery is the same as for tablet.  Does someone have a pic of where the battery connects?

    I am working on the exact same issue with Laurent, slightly different model.  I will keep you posted as I take apart my keyboard and investigate how you install the battery.
