Is battery on ASUS K501U replaceable?

[daleberger]

Just got a new Asus K501U Laptop and do not see the usual panel from which you can replace the battery. Is the battery replaceable?

99.9% of laptop batteries are replaceable. How easily they can be replaced, however, is a whole other story.

Yes, I do know that, but t K model does not have the usual battery on the underside that can snap out.

that is in webworkings' 2nd sentence "How easily they can be replaced, however, is a whole other story".

My model, K501U does not have any small panels on the underside. It has no panels to remove, such as to replace RAM or hard drive....it is one solid cover. Yes, I could remove the cover and look inside but I was hoping to find out if there even was a replaceable battery first. I think this is a really new model so there isn't much out there on it. I will try to contact ASUS. I appreciate your reply.

it is replaceable but you have to disassemble the laptop to do it.

Finally!

Laptop vendors encourage you to buy a new laptop (how else are they gonna stay in business) by not placing an easy access "door" for you to change the battery yourself. So the question really is, are you scared of tiny tools and screws? Actually most major vendor will do it for you... for an additional fee of course.
