The Battery Power System
Before using the computer on battery power for the first time, check the battery status icon on the Windows Toolbar to make sure
the battery is fully charged.
See Battery Status later in this section for a description and explanation of the Windows Battery icon.
Charging the battery takes about 4~8 hours to charge when the system is in off state.
If possible, always charge the battery completely.
Power Saving Modes
This section contains information on the Notebook's power system, including the AC Adapter, the battery system, recharging the
battery, and tips for conserving battery power.
The power system is comprised of two parts, the AC Adapter and the battery system. The AC Adapter converts AC power from a wall
outlet to the DC power required by the computer.
Note

If you typically go through 20 or more charge cycles (full charge to complete discharge), it is highly
recommended you perform the Battery Calibration every 3 months to maintain the battery life.
•
Please refer to the topic on "Battery Calibration" describing how to calibrate your system battery .
•
If you discover the battery life is getting shorter, please perform the "Battery Calibration" process immediately.
