Swapping the battery pack

Battery packs can be “warm-swapped.” This means you can change battery
packs while in Suspend mode (Windows 95) or Standby mode
(Windows 98).

The backup battery that supports warm swapping has a limited power
supply (about ten minutes). Make the battery swap quickly to conserve the
backup battery power.
