Calibration increases the accuracy of all battery charge displays.
The calibration utility supports all battery packs that can be used
in the computer.
Use the calibration utility both to check the calibration of a battery
pack and to calibrate or recalibrate a battery pack.
A battery pack cannot be calibrated unless the utility reports
that it needs calibration.
A new battery pack can be charged, then used to run the
computer before the battery pack is calibrated. However,
the amount of charge in the new battery pack cannot be
reported accurately until the new battery pack has been
calibrated.
Check the calibration of a used battery pack periodically
and whenever battery charge displays seem inaccurate.
