Keep the battery pack in the computer while it is directly connected to AC power.
The battery pack continues to charge while you are using the computer.
If your battery level falls to less than 10%, you should either attach the AC adapter to
recharge the battery or shut down your computer and insert a fully-charged battery.
You can extend battery life by changing the power management modes in the
PowerPanel utility. See “Using Power Saving Modes” on page 59.
The battery pack supplied with your computer is a lithium-ion battery and can be
recharged at any time. Charging a partially discharged battery does not affect battery
life.
The battery indicator light is on while you use the battery pack as a power source.
When battery life is nearly depleted, the battery indicator starts flashing.
For some software applications and some peripheral devices, your computer may not
enter system hibernation mode when the battery life is low. To avoid loss of data when
using battery power, you should save your data frequently and manually activate a
power management mode, such as system suspend or system hibernation.
