The computer uses an embedded battery pack that gives you long use
between charges.
Battery pack characteristics
The battery pack has the following characteristics:
• Employs current battery technology standards.
• Delivers a battery-low warning.
The battery is recharged whenever you connect the computer to the AC
adapter. Your computer supports charge-in-use, enabling you to
recharge the battery while you continue to operate the computer.
However, recharging with the computer turned off results in a significantly
faster charge time.
Charging the battery
To charge the battery, plug the AC adapter into the computer, and
connect to a mains power outlet. You can continue to operate your
computer on AC power while your battery is charging. However, charging
the battery with the computer turned off results in a significantly faster
charge time.
Note
: You are advised to charge the battery before retiring for the
day. Charging the battery overnight before traveling enables you to
start the next day with a fully charged battery.
