Q: Why can’t I charge the battery of my portable computer after it was out of
use for some time?
A: After portable computers have not been used for a long time (more than one
month), the batteries will go into the low voltage protection mode due to data
back-ups and natural electrical discharge. At that point, restoring normal voltage
will require slow charging over a period of several hours. Calibration can be
performed after the battery has returned to a normal condition.
Q: My computer alerts “CMOS Battery Low”, what can I do?
A: If you keep your computer in no power situation (unplug the computer from the
