Battery Performance
Using a battery lets you work with your notebook without connecting it
to an electrical outlet. Your notebook comes with one 8-cell Li-Ion
battery pack installed, which will give you more than 300
charging/discharging cycles.
The performance of the battery can vary, depending on operating
conditions. Your battery may last less time if you are running power-
intensive programs, playing CDs or DVDs, using PC cards or have high
high display-brightness settings.
The Power Management Options can be set to alert you when the
battery charge is low.
Ensure any battery you use is compatible. Failure to do so may risk fire
or explosion. For more details on purchasing compatible batteries, talk
to your notebook retailer.
Batteries should never be disposed of with household waste. Contact
your local waste disposal or environmental agency for advice on
disposing of used lithium-ion batteries.
