When you run your TransPort X
KE
on two battery packs, the
notebook doesn’t use both batteries at the same time. Instead, it
discharges the batteries in sequence, first draining the battery in
the Left Bay, then the battery in the Right Bay.
Note:
Two battery packs can be installed for lightweight traveling
convenience.
If there are two battery packs installed in the notebook, either
battery pack can be replaced while the notebook is in operation.
If one of the battery packs is removed, the notebook will
automatically switch to the other battery pack.
Discharging two battery packs
Figure 2-5: When using two batteries, TransPort X
KE
will first discharge
the battery in the left bay, then the battery in the right bay.
The battery charge gauge has a row of four charge level lights.
Each light stands for 25% of a full charge. To check the charge
level, press the “Battery Level” button. The lights tell you how
much charge you have remaining.
Checking a non-installed battery

Note:
If the left-side light is flashing it means the battery charge is low.
