How much does it cost to replace a Lenovo battery?

Lenovo battery replacement cost depends on your model (ThinkPad/IdeaPad/Yoga/Legion), battery size (Wh), and whether you replace it yourself or pay for service. The simplest way to avoid extra cost is ordering the correct battery the first time.

What drives the price

• Battery type: internal vs external; special shapes cost more.
• Capacity (Wh): larger batteries are often more expensive.
• Model class: gaming/workstation laptops may use higher-capacity packs.
• Service: labor adds cost if you don’t DIY.

DIY vs service

DIY is usually cheaper (you mainly pay for the battery). Service can be worth it if the chassis is difficult to open or if there are safety concerns.

How to avoid ordering the wrong battery

• Match the FRU/Part Number on the old battery.
• Confirm V, Wh, and connector shape.
• For some ThinkPads, check whether you need the internal or external battery.
