ATTERY PACK
The computer uses an embedded battery pack that gives you long use
between charges.
Battery pack characteristics
The battery pack has the following characteristics:
• Employs current battery technology standards.
• Delivers a battery-low warning.
The battery is recharged whenever you connect the computer to the AC
adapter. Your computer supports charge-in-use, enabling you to recharge
the battery while you continue to operate the computer. However,
recharging with the computer turned off results in a significantly faster
charge time.
Charging the battery
To charge the battery, first make sure that it is correctly installed in the
battery bay. Plug the AC adapter into the computer, and connect to a
mains power outlet. You can continue to operate your computer on AC
power while your battery is charging. However, charging the battery with
the computer turned off results in a significantly faster charge time.
Note: You are advised to charge the battery before retiring for the day.
Charging the battery overnight before traveling enables you to start
the next day with a fully charged battery.
