Battery
Batteries are classied by their power ratings, such as 45 WHr, 65 WHr, and so on. The battery allows you to use your device when it is not
connected to a power outlet. The life cycle of the battery is the number of times it can be discharged and recharged without aecting the
operating time signicantly. After the battery life-cycle reaches its end of life, you must replace the battery. Depending on the computer
model, the battery on your computer may be user-replaceable or may require a Dell service technician to replace.
NOTE
: High-capacity batteries generally have a longer life-cycle, since you need to charge high-capacity batteries less often
compared to low capacity batteries.
NOTE: For tips on improving the battery life, see Improving battery life.
