BATTERY PACK
The computer uses a battery pack that gives you extended use between
charges.
Note: Certain computers provide long-life batteries that continue to
hold a useful charge for over 1000 cycles (about three years). Normal
batteries start to lose charge after one-two years.
Battery pack characteristics
The battery pack has the following characteristics:
• Employs current battery technology standards.
• Delivers a battery-low warning.
The battery is recharged whenever you connect the computer to the AC
adapter
. Your computer supports charge-in-use, enabling you to recharge
the battery while you continue to operate the computer. However,
recharging with the computer turned off results in a significantly faster
charge time.
The battery will come in handy when you travel or during a power failure. It
is advisable to have an extra fully-charged battery pack available as
backup. Contact your dealer for details on ordering a spare battery pack.
Warning: Do not expose battery packs to temperatures below 0
°C (32 °F) or above 45 °C (113 °F). Extreme temperatures may
adversely affect the battery pack.
