Low Battery State - Gigabyte Q1542 User Manual

charging :
The Lithium-Ion battery is recharged internally using the AC adapter. To recharge the battery, make
sure the battery is installed and the Notebook is connected to the AC adapter. The charge times will be
significantly longer if your Notebook is in use while the battery is charging. If you want to charge the
battery more quickly, put your computer into Suspend mode or turn it off while the adapter is charging
the battery. Please always follow the charging instructions provided with your Notebook.
* If you happen to leave your battery pack to go through an extended period of self-discharge, say more
than three months, the battery voltage level will become too low and needs to be Pre-Charged (to bring the
battery voltage level high enough) before it automatically resumes its normal Fast Charge. Pre-Charge may
take 30 minutes. Fast Charge usually takes 2~3 hours.

low Battery state :

When the battery level is low, a notification message appears. If you do not respond to the low battery
message, the battery continues to discharge until it is too low to operate. When this happens, your
Notebook goes into Suspend mode. There is no guarantee your data will be saved once the Notebook
reaches this point.
CAUTION: To protect your Notebook from damage, use only the power adapter that came
with it because each power adapter has its own power output rating.
Once your Notebook goes into suspend mode as a result of a dead battery, you will be unable to
resume operation until you provide a source of power either from an adapter or a charged battery.
Once you have provided power, you can press the Suspend/ Resume button to resume operation. In
Suspend mode, your data is maintained for some time, but if a power source is not provided promptly,
the power indicator stops flashing and then goes out, in which case you have lost the data that was not
saved. Once you provide power, you can continue to use your computer while an adapter charges the
battery.
storage :
● Charge or discharge the battery to approximately 50% of capacity before storage.
● Charge the battery to approximately 50% of capacity at least once every three months.
● Remove the battery and store it separately from the Notebook.
● Store the battery at temperatures between 5°C and 20°C (41°F and 68°F).
CAUTION: The battery self-discharges during storage. Higher temperatures (above
20°C or 68°F) reduce the battery storage life.
