Learning About Batteries
The computer accommodates up to two rechargeable battery packs
at one time. Battery packs are supported in the:
■
Battery bay in the computer (primary battery pack)
■
MultiBay in the computer (secondary battery pack)
With the computer turned off, each battery pack will recharge in
less than two hours. With the computer turned on, each battery
pack will recharge in less than five hours.
If two fully charged battery packs are installed, you can remove
one battery while the computer is on without affecting system
operation. With only one battery pack installed, you must turn off
the computer or initiate Hibernation before removing a battery, or
you must connect to external AC power before you remove the
battery pack. For more information on using Hibernation, see
Chapter 5.
When the computer is in Suspend, you must always have a power
source, either a fully charged battery pack or AC power, before
removing a battery pack. For more information on using Suspend,
see Chapter 5.
