Battery Mode

PLEASE NOTE!
Please charge and discharge the new batteries completely two or
three times consecutively to ensure that it reaches their optimum
performance! Batteries store electrical energy in their cells and then
release it again as required.
The service life and performance of your batteries depend on careful handling.
The batteries should always be completely discharged before charging and then
fully charged again to optimise the service life and performance.
Please also take note of the safety instructions on "Safety Instructions".
7.3.1. Charging the Batteries
The batteries are charged using the mains adapter. When the mains adapter is
connected and switched on, the batteries charge automatically regardless of
whether or not the Notebook is switched on or not. A complete charge takes a
few hours with the Notebook switched off. With the Notebook switched on, the
charging process takes significantly longer.
PLEASE NOTE!
The charging process is interrupted if the battery voltage or
temperature gets too high.
7.3.2. Discharging the battery
Operate the notebook on battery power until it turns itself off due to low battery
charge.
PLEASE NOTE!
Be sure to save your open files promptly to prevent any data loss.
7.3.3. Battery Performance
The actual operating time varies depending on the configuration of the power
saving functions. You can configure these to suit your requirements in the
Control Panel under System and Security, Power Options. Note: your Notebook
consumes more power when running certain applications.
