Calibrating a Battery Pack
When to Calibrate
Calibrate an in-use primary or MultiBay battery pack whenever
battery status displays seem inaccurate or whenever the battery
pack has not been used for 1 month or more. It should not be
necessary to calibrate any battery pack, even if it is heavily used,
more than once a month. It is not necessary to calibrate a new
battery pack before first use.
How to Calibrate
Calibration requires 3 steps:
1. Fully charge the battery pack.
2. Fully discharge the battery pack.
3. Fully recharge the battery pack.
Charging the Battery Pack
You can charge the battery pack while the notebook is in use
or off, but the battery pack will charge faster while the notebook
is off.
To charge the battery pack:
1. Insert the battery pack into the notebook.
2. Connect the notebook to an AC outlet or an optional
Automobile Power Adapter/Charger. (The battery light
turns on.)
3. Leave the notebook connected to AC power until the battery
pack is fully charged. (The battery light turns off.)
