Start Battery Refreshing

This function will start a software program to remove memory effects in the battery and recalibrate the
battery gauge. Even though this Notebook PC uses a Lithium-Ion battery which is not prone to memory
effects, memory effects will still occur at the end of the battery's life cycle. Remember that all recharge-
able batteries only have a definite number of charge and discharge cycles depending on environment
and quality of the battery pack. Remove the AC power adapter before using this function.
