Battery types

The computer has different types of batteries:

Battery pack

When the AC adaptor is not connected, the main power source of the
computer is the lithium-ion battery, also referred to in this manual as the
main battery.
Real-Time Clock (RTC) function
The Real-Time Clock (RTC) function is supported. The battery pack
provides power for the internal real-time clock and calendar function and
also maintains the system configuration while the computer is turned off. If
the RTC lasting time completely runs out, the system will lose this
information and the real-time clock and calendar will stop working.
You can change the Real-Time Clock settings in the BIOS setup utility.

Care and use of the battery pack

This section provides the important safety precautions in order to handle
your battery pack properly.
Refer to the enclosed Instruction Manual for Safety and Comfort for
detailed precautions and handling instructions.

Charging the batteries

When the power in the battery pack becomes low, the DC IN/Battery
indicator flashes amber to indicate that only a few minutes of battery power
remain. If you continue to use the computer while the DC IN/Battery
indicator flashes, the computer enters Hibernation Mode so that you do not
lose any data, and automatically turn itself off.
You must recharge the battery pack when it becomes discharged.
Procedures
To recharge a battery pack, connect the AC adaptor to the DC IN 19V jack
and plug the other end into a working outlet. The DC IN/Battery indicator
glows amber while the battery is being charged.
