When not plugged into a mains socket, the noteb ook runs on its built-in ba ttery. You
can increase the life of the battery by caring for the battery properly. The average
battery life is about 1000 charge/discharge cycles.
You can extend the battery life by taking advantage of the available energy saving functions.
Using Battery Utility , you can limit the max. charge to 80% instead of 100% capacity by configuring
Battery Charge Mode. This will correspondingly reduce the pote ntial battery life when discharging.
In particular, when you primarily use the laptop in one location with the mains adapter permanently
connected, we recommend configuring Battery Charge M o de t o 80% in order to extend the battery life.
If you require the maximum battery life for mobile use, we recommend
configuring Battery Ch a rge M ode to 100%.
You can find Battery Utility in the Window s start menu un der Settings - Extras
and online at "

The notebook’s rechargeable battery can only be charged when the ambient temperature
is between 5 °C / 41 °F and max. 35 °C / 95 °F.
If the battery is regularly charged at am bient temperatures above 25 °C,
this may reduce the battery life.
