I just came back from my IT department right now. I had to change my laptop battery and it took 1.30h to do it. The battery itself is extremely easy to replace. Open the lid, remove the old one and insert the new one. That's it, right? You wish. My laptop bios is not compatible with this battery because it's the 2.0 version, so I had to update it. But of course bitlocker didn't agree with that. So I had to go bother them to update my bios, then restore the computer accepting that both bios and battery were safe, restart once more and check that it was all right.

I could have done all that by myself but I lack the permissions.
