Battery Calibration
The first time you use a battery, you should calibrate it. The calibration process empties and charges the battery. This
allows the Windows battery gauge to accurately monitor battery status. To calibrate a battery, follow these steps:
1 Plug in the AC adapter.
2 Restart the computer. When the startup screen appears, just prior to the Windows logo screen, press the Del key
to enter the BIOS Setup Utility.
3 In the BIOS Setup Utility, select Power Management Setup. Choose Battery Auto Calibration, then select
Enabled.
NOTE Make sure that AC adapter & Battery are present.
4 Hit Enter when you are asked “Do you wish to do battery auto-learning?
(y/n)(y/n)
(y/n)(y/n)
(y/n)” in the Battery Calibration
dialog. This starts battery calibration.
Battery Calibration will take from 10 to 16 hours, depending on how much power the battery may already contain.
