Learning cycle for notebook batteries

Your notebook battery contains electronics that continuously monitor the notebook battery charging
level and displays the current charging level. To compensate for measuring errors in the electronics,
and because the chemical properties of the battery change over time, the electronics must be
recalibrated regularly. This calibration is carried out using a battery learning cycle. Using the battery
learning cycle ensures that the maximum battery capacity can always be used. During the learning
cycle a defined charging cycle is carried out.
The notebook battery learning cycle lasts between four and seven hours (please never abort the
learning cycle).
The learning cycle can only be run under MS-DOS. Therefore, a bootable floppy disk must
i
be created for the version of the learning cycle for Windows NT . When the learning cycle
is run under Windows 9x, Windows is automatically ended after a note appears.
The Battery Tool Disk is also on the Mobile CD "Driver & Utilities" provided or on the
Internet at www.siemens-pc.de/drivercd.
Windows NT pre-installation
A Battery Tool icon is created on the Windows desktop. With that you can create a bootable floppy
disk with the learning cycle.
Windows 9x pre-installation
Two icons, Battery Tools and Battery Tool Disk , are created on the Windows desktop. With Battery
Tools you can start the learning cycle directly and with Battery Tool Disk you can create a bootable
floppy disk with the learning cycle.
