Battery Status
Windows XP has an applet in the Control Panel that will display an
icon in the Windows taskbar indicating when the computer is running
on battery power or is attached to the AC adapter.
This applet also displays a meter that indicates how much charge
is remaining in the battery.
Battery Low Warning
A beeping sound every 1.5 seconds alert you on the “Battery Low”
status. When the battery power reaches the “Battery Very Low” status
the beeping sound will accelerate.
Your battery now has 1 ~ 2 minutes of battery charge left. You must
save your data or connect AC power immediately; otherwise, you may
lose your data.
¾ Beeping accelerates - Battery Very Low: Indicates that there are 1 to
2 minutes of battery charge left. Save your work and turn off the
computer or connect the AC adapter.
When there is only one minute of battery charge left, the computer will
suspend to the HDD and power off. Connect AC power and resume
your work.
Small Battery for the Real Time Clock
There is a small built-in battery pack that supplies power to the system
in order to maintain certain system information while the power is off.
If the computer is left without a power source for long period of time,
this battery will be exhausted and system information will be lost.
