Battery FAQ
How do I completely discharge the battery?
Use the computer with battery power until it shuts down due to a low battery. Don’t
turn off the computer by yourself even when you see a message that indicates the bat-
tery is critically low, just let the computer use up all of the battery power and shut
down on its own. Disable the Power Options functions in the Control Panel, espe-
cially any Alarms (unclick the tickboxes - see page D - 23) and Schemes (change
all the settings to Never - see page D - 18). As the battery nears the end of its life save
and close any critical files.
How do I fully charge the battery?
When charging the battery, don’t stop until the LED charging indicator light changes
from orange to green.
How do I maintain the battery?
Completely discharge and charge the battery at least once every 30 days or after
about 20 partial discharges.
Caution
Danger of explosion if
battery is incorrectly re-
placed.
Replace only with the

recommended by the

used battery according
to the manufacturer’s in-
structions.
