nal temperature of the battery pack is outside of the accept-

NOTE
This computer prevents overcharging of the battery by recharging only when
the remaining power is less than approx. 95% of capacity after the battery is
fully charged.
When the remaining battery charge of the computer is between 20-80%, re-
charging starts from the battery pack inserted into the second battery pack
slot, and discharging starts from the battery pack inserted into the main bat-
tery pack slot. When the remaining battery charge of the computer is 0-20%
or 80-100%, both the main battery pack and the secondary battery pack are
recharged/discharged almost equally.
