Battery basics
A 6-cell lithium-ion prismatic battery comes installed in the Gateway Tablet
PC. Fully charged, a new battery can power the tablet for several hours,
depending on conditions and usage patterns.
Extra batteries are available through Motion. Use only Motion batteries in the
Gateway Tablet PC.
Handle the battery with care. Do not open, puncture, short, or expose it to fire
or water. Keep the battery in an ambient temperature of less than 140°F (60°C).
Do not leave it in a closed car in hot weather.

Closely monitor the battery charge. When the battery charge gets low, change
the battery or connect to AC power immediately to prevent losing any unsaved
work.
