Chapter 03: Battery Usage and Care

computer is disconnected from the electrical outlet, the battery

indicators will turn off.

NOTE: The time to fully recharge both batteries is approximately

120 ~ 160 minutes when the computer is powered off. The time to

fully recharge the battery when the computer is in use varies

according to the power requirements of the operations that the

computer is performing while charging.

Problems Charging the Battery
Environmental conditions can affect the ability of the computer

to charge the battery. If the battery is too hot from either being

used in your computer or being exposed to an overly hot

environment, the battery may not charge when you connect the

computer to an electrical outlet.

If this occurs, disconnect the computer from the electrical outlet

and allow it and the battery to cool to room temperature. Then

reconnect the computer to an electrical outlet to continue

charging the battery.

Battery Status
Windows 7 has an applet

in the Control Panel that

will display an icon in the

Windows taskbar indicating

when the computer is run-

ning on battery power or is

attached to the AC adapter.

This applet also displays

a meter that indicates

approximately how much

of a charge is remaining in

each of the batteries. Additionally, you can choose to change the

system’s power plan to either extend battery performance or

improve system performance.
