Replacing the Lenovo ThinkPad T470 battery

Lenovo ThinkPad T470 battery FAQ
What battery capacity does the Lenovo ThinkPad T470 have?
Lenovo's spec page lists 24 Wh, 48 Wh or 72 Wh for the Lenovo ThinkPad T470 (optional internal 24 Wh + swappable rear 24/48/72 Wh). The capacity of yours is printed on the battery label and shown as "design capacity" in a Windows battery report.
How many hours does the Lenovo ThinkPad T470 battery last?
Estimated for new packs totalling 96 Wh at about 60% brightness: 11 h 25 min of browsing or office work, 7 h 35 min of video calls and 3 h of gaming. With the 24 Wh option, office work drops to about 2 h 50 min. These are estimates from typical power draw, not measurements.
Will a Lenovo ThinkPad T470 last through a 2-hour load-shedding?
On a used battery at 80% health with the 96 Wh pack, office work runs for about 9 h 5 min, so a 2-hour outage is covered for the laptop itself. Your Wi-Fi router still needs a mini UPS; the load-shedding calculator works out both.
Does the Lenovo ThinkPad T470 have two batteries?
Yes, the research note says: optional internal 24 Wh + swappable rear 24/48/72 Wh. The laptop runs on both packs together, so a worn rear pack can often be replaced on its own. Check the health of each pack in the Windows battery report before buying.
When should I replace the Lenovo ThinkPad T470 battery?
Replace it when the full-charge capacity falls to about 60-70% of the design capacity (around 47 Wh on a 72 Wh pack), when the laptop shuts down at 20-40%, or straight away if the battery swells and lifts the keyboard or bottom cover. Run powercfg /batteryreport in Windows to see both numbers.
