See Battery Status later in this section for a description and
explanation of the Windows Battery icon.
Charging the battery takes about 2.5 hours to charge when the
system is in off state. If possible, always charge the battery
completely.
If you use the battery so frequently that it
exceed more than 20 times by fully discharging/charging in a
single month alone, we recommend you to perform the
“Battery Calibration” process every 3 months to maintain the
battery life.
Please refer to the topic on “Battery Calibration” describing
how to calibrate your system battery discussed on the latter
part of this chapter.
If you discover the battery life is getting shorter, please
perform the “Battery Calibration” process immediately.
