Using Battery Power

Your computer can accommodate from one to three battery packs.
The three battery power sources are:
1. Handle battery pack
2. Modular battery pack in the DualBay
3. Modular battery pack in the Mobile CD Expansion Unit (MCD)
on some models.
!
NOTE: Actual run time of each battery pack will vary according to
how you use your computer and the power conservation options you
select. On average, since each battery pack delivers the same
capacity, users can expect to double their battery life with two
battery packs and triple their battery life with three installed.

Battery Charging/Discharging

The handle battery pack is the primary power source. Batteries
charge (if all three batteries are installed) beginning with battery in
the handle, then the modular battery in the DualBay, and last the
modular battery in the Mobile CD Expansion Unit (MCD).
Battery power is depleted (if all three batteries are installed)
beginning with the modular battery pack in the MCD, then the
modular battery in the DualBay, and last the battery in the handle.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury or damage to the battery
pack, do not crush, puncture, or incinerate the battery pack or
short the metal contacts. In addition, do not attempt to open or
service the battery pack.
