Chapter 1 Use Mobile Computer

1.4. BATTERY

The mobile computer is fed by two batteries, main battery pack and backup battery. The
main battery is removable and replaceable from the battery chamber while the backup
battery is mounted on the main board inside the mobile computer.
When the mobile computer is shipped, the main battery is stored in a package separated
from the mobile computer, which keeps it in good condition for future use.
MAIN BATTERY
The main battery is a Li-ion battery pack that comes in two sizes, a standard 3.7V/3600mAh
pack and a high capacity 3.7V/4400mAh pack. The standard battery will take around 4
hours to charge to full, while the high capacity battery pack will require approximately 6
hours charging to reach full battery level. The working time of the mobile computer varies
by its working states. See Operating Time for details on how long the mobile computer will
operate under different conditions.
An icon on Title Bar helps monitor the main battery level. See Main Battery Level.
See also Main Battery Setup for the assembly.
BACKUP BATTERY
The backup battery is settled on the main board inside the mobile computer. It is a 15 mAh
rechargeable Li-ion battery. When main battery is absent or depleted, backup battery takes
over to feed the mobile computer. Without main battery, a fully charged backup battery
retains the data in the DRAM and holds the system in suspension for 30 minutes (as long as
wireless modules are inactive).
The backup battery is rechargeable by the external power (through power adapter) or main
battery pack. It takes about 5 hours to charge it to full. An icon on the Title Bar makes
it observant that backup battery gets low. See also Backup Battery Level.
Note: When removing the main battery pack, actual data retention time will depend on the
backup battery level. Check backup battery level before replacing the main battery to
ensure your data is retained.
