Displaying Charge Information on a Battery
Pack
The battery Quick Check feature enables you to check the
battery pack charge information without having to turn on the
notebook. You do not have to remove a battery pack from the
notebook battery bay or the travel battery to check the charge
information; however, you must detach the travel battery from
the notebook to check the charge of the travel bay battery pack.
To display the percentage of a full charge remaining on a battery
pack, press the Quick Check button
1
on the battery pack. The
Quick Check lights
2
on the battery pack indicate the charge
remaining, as shown in the following table.
