Battery types

The computer has different types of batteries.

Battery pack

When the AC adaptor is not connected, the computer's main power source
is a lithium ion battery pack, also referred to in this manual as the main
battery.

Real Time Clock (RTC) battery

The Real Time Clock (RTC) battery provides power for the internal real
time clock and calendar function and also maintains the system
configuration while the computer is turned off. If the RTC battery becomes
completely discharged, the system will lose this information and the real
time clock and calendar will stop working.
Your computer will automatically power off after 1 minute and the same
message will appear again the next time when it is turned on.
You can change the Real Time Clock settings in the BIOS setup utility.
Please refer to
