Extending battery life
Maximizing battery performance
To get maximum performance from your notebook
battery, we recommend that you initially condition
(fully charge and discharge) your new battery a few
times during the first several weeks of use, to let it
reach its maximum rated capacity.
Important
If, after completing this procedure, the battery charge
indicator still does not show an accurate charge, contact Gateway
Customer Care at the location shown on the Customer Care label.
