Running the computer on battery power
The computer contains a removable Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion)
high-capacity battery that provides power when you are away
from an AC outlet. You can recharge it many times.
To ensure that the battery maintains its maximum capacity,
operate the computer on battery power at least once a month
until the battery is fully discharged. Refer to "Extending
Battery Life" in this document for procedures. If the
computer is continuously operated on AC power, either
through an AC adapter or a docking station (if applicable to
your system), for an extended period (more than a month) the
battery may fail to retain a charge. This may shorten the life
of the battery, and the battery light may not indicate a low-
battery condition.
You computer has an internal real-time-clock (RTC) battery.
The RTC battery powers the System Time Clock and BIOS
memory used to store your computer's configuration settings.
When fully charged, it maintains this information for up to a
month when the computer is powered off.
The RTC battery may have become completely discharged
while your computer was shipped, resulting in the following
message during startup:
Never pick up the computer by its display panel or by the back
(where the ports are located).
