Compaq.com - Compaq Presario 1660 Model Maintenance and Service Guide
1. Allow the battery to drain until the computer reaches hibernation and turns
itself off. Do not plug in the AC adapter during this process. Also, the
system should not be allowed to sleep. To prevent sleep, you may either use
the computer while the battery is draining, or you may disable power
management.
2. Plug in the AC adapter and allow the battery to charge until the LED light on
the display stops blinking. Your battery gauge may read 100 percent for a
period of time before LED light on the display stops blinking. Do not unplug the
AC adapter until the arrow disappears.
Your battery is now re-conditioned, and you may begin using the computer
normally.
The battery pack charge time may vary greatly from 2 hours to 5 hours or more, depending
on many factors (including whether it is charged on-line or off-line).
Disposal of a Used Battery Pack
In the interest of safeguarding our environment. Compaq Computer Corporation
recommends that nickel metal hydride (NiMH) and lithium ion (Li ion) battery packs be
recycled. Battery packs should be handled in accordance with country, state, province, or
local regulations.
CAUTION: Never attempt to open or service a battery pack.
Opening a battery pack not only damages the pack and
makes it unusable, but also expose potentially harmful
battery components.
