Battery Gauge Utility
The battery gauge popup shows the status of the installed battery
packs with two numbered boxes:
■
Box # 1, represents the primary battery pack in the computer
battery bay.
■
Box # 2, represents the battery pack in the computer DualBay.
The box representing the selected battery pack is depressed and the
number inside is black. The percentage of battery charge remaining
for the selected battery pack is shown at the bottom of the popup.
The number in the box not selected is grayed out. If a battery pack
is charging, a lightning bolt symbol appears to the right of the box.
If AC power is connected, the power connector is shown.
