Battery - eMachines M2105 User Manual

You can use your notebook on either battery or AC power. Your choice of
power source depends on your preference and the availability of AC power.
When choosing your power source, consider the length of time you plan to use
your notebook and the amount of charge in your battery.
The life of your battery charge will vary, depending on its age and type, your
notebook power settings, and the applications you are using. For example,
playing a DVD movie, which uses the display and the CD/DVD drive, uses
substantially more power than working on a word processing file.
If you plan to frequently use the battery, read this chapter to learn about:
charging your battery
managing your battery consumption
refreshing your battery
disposing of your battery
Your notebook uses a Li-Ion battery pack.
To reduce the risk of fire and chemical burn when handling
the battery pack:
Replace it using only the spare designated for this
product.
Do not touch the connector leads on the battery case.
Do not disassemble, crush, or puncture the battery; short
its external contacts; immerse it in water; or dispose of it
in fire.
