Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires removing the back cover of the Dell Latitude 11 (5175). We recommend using a precision screwdriver set and a plastic prying tool to avoid marring the chassis. Ensure the device is completely powered down and disconnected from the AC adapter before starting. Once installed, perform a 'battery calibration' by charging the device to 100% and then allowing it to discharge to near 5% under normal use to allow the internal power management circuit to recognize the new capacity. To maximize the lifespan of your new battery, avoid exposing the device to extreme temperatures and refrain from leaving it connected to a charger 24/7 if not in use.
