To remove a battery pack:

1 Slide the battery release latch to release the battery.

2 Pull the battery from the battery bay.

Charging the battery

To charge the battery, first make sure that it is correctly installed in the battery

bay. Plug the AC adapter into the computer, and connect to a mains power

outlet. You can continue to operate your computer on AC power while your

battery is charging. However, charging the battery with the computer turned

off results in a significantly faster charge time.

Note: You are advised to charge the battery before retiring for

the day. Charging the battery overnight before traveling enables

you to start the next day with a fully charged battery.

Checking the battery level

The Windows power meter indicates the current battery level. Rest the cursor

over the battery/power icon on the taskbar to see the battery's present charge

level.

Optimizing battery life

Optimizing battery life helps you get the most out of battery operation,

prolonging the charge/recharge cycle and improving recharging efficiency. You

are advised to follow the suggestions set out below:

• Purchase an extra battery pack.

• Use AC power whenever possible, reserving battery for on-the-go use.

• Eject a PC Card if it is not being used, as it will continue to draw power (for

selected models).

• Store the battery pack in a cool, dry place. The recommended temperature

is 10° C (50° F) to 30° C (86° F). Higher temperatures cause the battery to

self-discharge faster.

• Excessive recharging decreases the battery life.

• Look after your AC adapter and battery.

Battery-low warning

When using battery power pay attention to the Windows power meter.
