Battery
The battery supplies your notebook with the necessary power during mobile use. You can increase
battery life by enabling the system's power management features.
The life of the battery is dependent on its proper storage, the number of charging/discharging cycles
and the operating temperature of the notebook.
Charging, caring for and maintaining the battery
You can charge the battery by connecting the notebook to the mains adapter (see "Connecting the
mains adapter"). The battery can only be recharged if the ambient temperature of the notebook falls
within the permitted temperature range. The time taken to load the battery depends on its usage.
Information on the battery charging time is contained in the "Technical data" chapter.
You can maintain long life from your battery by allowing it to discharge fully before you recharge it
again. To do this, leave your notebook turned on when it is operated with the battery. Once the
battery is running low you will hear a warning alarm. If you do not connect the mains adapter within
five minutes of the warning alarm described above, your notebook will automatically switch off.
