Battery
The battery allows you to use your notebook computer while you are on the
road or an electrical outlet is unavailable. Battery life varies depending on the
applications and the configuration you're using. To increase battery life, let the
battery discharge completely before recharging. We recommend leaving the
battery inside the notebook at all times.
For more information on the battery,
please refer to
“Battery Information” on page 3 - 24
.
Recharging the Battery with the AC Adapter
The battery pack automatically recharges when the AC adapter is attached and
plugged into an electrical outlet. If the computer is powered on, and in use, it
will take several hours to fully recharge the battery. When the computer is
turned off but plugged into an electrical outlet, battery charge time is less (
re-
fer to
“LED Indicators” on page 2 - 5
for information on the battery
charge status
).
Proper handling of the Battery Pack
• DO NOT disassemble the battery pack under any circumstances.
• DO NOT expose the battery to fire or high temperatures, it may explode.
• DO NOT connect the metal terminals (+, -) to each other (for more infor-
mation on how to maintain the battery pack, refer to
“Battery Informa-
tion” on page 3 - 24
).
