Charge sequence:

2. Computer MultiBay
3. Docking base bay(s) (Docking base bay availability and

information about charging battery packs in your docking
base, refer your docking base documentation.)
■
Discharge sequence:
1. Computer MultiBay
2. Computer battery bay
While a battery pack is in a docking base bay, the battery pack
can be charged but cannot be used to run the computer.
Using a New Battery Pack
Fully charge the battery pack in the computer battery bay or the
computer MultiBay (not in a docking base bay) while the
computer is connected to an external power source or docked in a
docking base.
Although you can use a new battery pack that has been fully
charged to run the computer, battery charge displays cannot
accurately report the amount of charge in the battery pack until
the battery pack has been calibrated. For calibration instructions,
refer on this CD to the Compaq Utilities guide, “Power
Management” section, “Calibrating a Battery Pack.”
Replacing a Battery Pack
✎
To prevent loss of information when removing a battery pack that
is the only power source, initiate Hibernation or turn off the
computer before removing the battery pack.
