Remove and Replace the HP Elitebook 8460P Battery

Laptop batteries don't last forever, unfortunately. Over time and with usage, batteries wear out and need to be replaced. This can happen anywhere between one and four years, depending on how often you use your laptop and what you use it for. Fortunately, replacement batteries for HP laptops are readily available and are not hard to replace.
The HP EliteBook 8460p laptop computer features both hp AC and battery power. As long as the laptop's AC power is plugged in, it will function. This is true even when the battery is not in place. However, if you remove the AC power when the battery also is removed, the computer will immediately lose power. Because you can charge the laptop battery without needing to remove it, there generally speaking are few reasons to remove the HP ProBook 6560b battery unless you are replacing it
Instructions
1 Position the laptop so that you can access the back side. Close the lid and flip the unit upside-down, or leave it open and turn the notebook on its side. Make sure the computer is plugged in. Otherwise it will turn off and you will lose your work when you remove the battery.
2 Press the release tab or tabs next to the hp elitebook 8460p battery, which you can typically find near the back or middle of the laptop. Most batteries are rectangular. Note that some notebooks, most notably the Apple MacBook Pro, do not have user-removable batteries.

3.Turn your laptop upside-down, so you are looking at the underside of the laptop. Locate the elitebook 8460p battery. The size and location will vary depending on the model of the laptop, but it is generally a large, square or rectangular area with one or two latches that lock it in.
4 Unlock the switches and slide the HP CC09 battery out.
5 Place the new battery in the same way you pulled the old one out, and secure the latches.
