Battery Pack Your computer is powered by a rechargeable
lithium-ion battery pack.
RTC Battery The internal RTC battery backs up the Real Time
Clock and calendar.
AC Adaptor The AC adaptor provides power to the system and
recharges the batteries when they are low. It
comes with a detachable power cord that will
either have a 2-pin or 3-pin plug enclosure.
Because it is universal, it can receive a range of
AC voltage from 100 to 240 volts. However, the
output current varies among different models.
Using the wrong model can damage your
computer. Refer to the
AC adaptor section in
Chapter 2, The Grand Tour .
