Frequently Asked Battery Questions

Does it harm the Li-Polymer or Li-Ion battery pack to frequently "top off" the batteries?
What constitutes a charge cycle?
Where can general battery charge state information be obtained?
What effect will temperature have on battery life and performance?

The Battery

The battery has the following characteristics:
Employs current battery technology standards
The computer uses "smart" Li-Polymer (standard -- 29WHr) or Li-Ion (extended -- 50WHr) batteries to
consistently provide the long battery life best suited for mobile users
A temperature sensor and memory device that stores information about the battery, such as how much charge
is left and how many times it has been recharged
Battery-low warning
When the battery charge level becomes low, the battery alarm beeps or displays a warning on your screen.
This tells you that the battery power is critically low (and you should save your work). You can correct this
situation by recharging the battery.
Whenever possible, use the AC adapter. The battery will come in handy when you travel or do not have access to
AC power. It is advisable to have an extra fully-charged battery available as backup.
