+            <p>
+                It is recommended that you update to the latest EC firmware version.
+                The <a href="https://libreboot.org/faq/#firmware-ec">EC firmware</a>
+                is separate from libreboot, so we don't actually provide that, but
+                if you still have Lenovo BIOS then you can just run the Lenovo BIOS
+                update utility, which will update both the BIOS and EC version.
+                See:
+            </p>

+            </ul>
+            <p>
+                NOTE: this can only be done when you are using Lenovo BIOS. How to
+                update the EC firmware while running libreboot is unknown. 
+                Libreboot only replaces the BIOS firmware, not EC.
+            </p>
+            <p>
+                Updated EC firmware has several advantages e.g.
+                bettery battery handling.
