Recharging the Batteries
If you want to know the condition of the primary Lithium ion battery, check the Battery Level indicator located on the
Status Indicator panel. The indicator changes as the battery level changes.
The Lithium ion battery is recharged internally using a power adapter. To recharge the battery be sure the battery
that needs to be charged is installed in your notebook and connect the AC or Auto/Airline adapter.
There is no memory effect on the Lithium ion battery, therefore you do not need to discharge the battery completely
before recharging. The charge times will be significantly longer if your notebook is in use while the battery is
charging. If you want to charge the battery more quickly, put your notebook into Sleep mode, or turn it off while the
adapter is charging the battery. (See Power Management on page 54 for more information on Sleep mode and shutdown
procedure)
• ACTUAL BATTERY LIFE WILL VARY BASED ON SCREEN BRIGHTNESS, APPLICATIONS, FEATURES, POWER MANAGEMENT SETTINGS, BATTERY CONDITION
AND OTHER CUSTOMER PREFERENCES. MULTI-FORMAT DVD WRITER, BLU-RAY RW DRIVE, OR HARD DRIVE USAGE MAY ALSO HAVE A SIGNIFICANT
IMPACT ON BATTERY LIFE. THE BATTERY CHARGING CAPACITY IS REDUCED AS THE BATTERY AGES. IF YOUR BATTERY IS RUNNING LOW QUICKLY, YOU
SHOULD REPLACE IT WITH A NEW ONE.
• UNDER FEDERAL, STATE, OR LOCAL LAW IT MAY BE ILLEGAL TO DISPOSE OF BATTERIES BY PUTTING THEM IN THE TRASH. PLEASE TAKE CARE OF OUR
ENVIRONMENT AND DISPOSE OF BATTERIES PROPERLY. CHECK WITH YOUR LOCAL GOVERNMENT AUTHORITY FOR DETAILS REGARDING RECYCLING OR
DISPOSING OF OLD BATTERIES. IF YOU CANNOT FIND THIS INFORMATION ELSEWHERE, CONTACT YOUR SUPPORT REPRESENTATIVE AT 1-800-
