6.1 Battery Pack
Depending on model, included with the notebook is one high energy rechargeable
Lithium Ion (Li-Ion), or Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) battery pack. In general, a
fully charged battery pack can support around 2-3 hours of operation, with Power
Management option enabled. However, difference in configuration (CPU, HDD, Memory
etc.) and system utilization (especially I/O activities) can affect the operation time
greatly.
6.2 Recharging the Battery Pack
Your notebook supports both on-line and off-line recharge. Follow the procedure below
to recharge battery:
• Make sure the battery pack is installed in the notebook.
• Connect the AC Adapter to the notebook and to an electrical outlet.
When a battery pack is being recharged, its Battery Pack LED would be “ON”. For
detail on the LEDs, please refer to Chapter 2.3 and Chapter 2.4. While the notebook is
OFF, a depleted Li-Ion (NiMH) battery pack will take three hours (two hours) to
recharge.
6.3 Questions and Answers:
Q: I can feel the heat next to the TouchPad during recharge. Is it normal?
A: The battery will generate heat during recharging and discharging. There is
protection circuit inside the notebook to prevent overheating. User needs not to
worry.
