Low Battery Shutdown
If your computer shuts down because of low battery conditions, your com-
puter will not operate. This is done to ensure that data is protected. Al-
though the battery will protect the data against loss for several hours, you
should connect your computer to a power source when you first detect a
low battery condition.
Your computer contains an internal super capacitor, a temporary power
storage device, that protects data for up to ten minutes. This is to give you
time to replace the main battery pack before that data is lost. Be sure to put
the c omputer in a suspend mode before doing so.
The battery power fail level is set so that after the system shuts down in a
low battery condition, there is still sufficient charge to allow the unit to
remain configured, keep proper time, and maintain DRAM (Dynamic
Random Access Memory) for at least 72 hours at room temperature if the
main battery remains in the mobile computer. The configuration and time
are lost if:
S The batter y discharges beyond this level.
S The battery is removed when the computer is not in suspend mode.
S A cold reset is performed on the computer.
