56 - Battery pack
BATTERY PACK
The computer uses an embedded Lithium battery that gives you
long use between charges.
Battery characteristics
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
significantly reduces charge time.
The battery will come in handy when you travel or during a power
failure.
Charging the battery
Plug the AC adapter into the computer, and connect to a mains
power outlet.
Conditioning a new battery pack
Before you use a battery pack for the first time, there is a
conditioning process that you should follow:
1. Connect the AC adapter and fully charge the battery.
2. Turn on the computer and complete setting up the operating
system.
3. Disconnect the AC adapter.
4. Operate the computer using battery power.
5. Fully deplete the battery until the battery-low warning appears.
6. Reconnect the AC adapter and fully charge the battery again.
Note
You are advised to charge the battery before retiring for the day. Charging
the battery overnight before traveling enables you to start the next day with
a fully charged battery.
