When not plugged into a mains socket, the notebook runs on its built-in battery. You
can increase the life of the battery by caring for the battery properly. The average
battery life is about 1000 charge/discharge cycles.
You can extend the battery life by taking advantage of the available energy saving functions.
Using Battery Utility, you can limit the max. c harge to 80% instead of 100% capacity by conguring
Battery Charge Mode. This will correspondingly reduce the potential battery life when discharging.
In particular, when you primarily use the laptop in one location with the mains adapter permanently
connected, we recommend conguring Battery Charge Mode t o 80% in order to extend the battery life.
If you require the maximum battery life for mobile use , we recommend
conguring Battery Charge Mode to 100%.
You can nd Battery Utility in the Windows start menu under Settings - Extras

The notebook’s rechargeable battery can only be charged when the amb ient temperature
is between 5 °C / 41 °F and max. 35 °C / 95 °F.
If the battery is regularly charged at ambient temperatures above 25 °C,
this may reduce the battery life.
You ca n charg e the battery by conne cting the notebook to the m ains adap ter
(see "
Connecting the mains adapter", Page 20).
Please note that the r echargea ble battery will not be charged if its state of charge is between
90 % and 100 %. If t he state of charge of the rechargeable battery is less than 90 % and
the mains adapter is conne cted, the battery will be charged to 100 %.
When the battery state of cha rge is low, a message from the op erating system appears.
If you do not connect the mains adapter within about 5 minutes of the message
appearing, you r notebook will automatically switch off.
