refreshing your battery

We recommend refreshing your battery several times a year, or more often if you
frequently use your battery. If your battery charge icon or the power meter
becomes inaccurate, you need to refresh your battery.
To refresh your battery:
1. Close all open files and programs.
2. Connect your notebook to AC power and allow the battery to completely
charge.
3. After the battery is completely charged, disconnect the AC adapter and
either turn on or restart your notebook.
4. Completely discharge the battery by doing the following:
Important: Do not use your notebook during the refresh
process.
Do not connect the AC adapter to your notebook during
this process, or you will interrupt the refresh process and will
have to start again.
a. From your desktop, right click on the power icon and select Adjust
Power Properties.
b. On the Power Schemes tab, select the Always On power scheme.
c. On the Alarms tab, deselect the check boxes for the Low battery alarm
and the Critical battery alarm.
Important: Let the battery drain until your notebook
automatically turns off.
