Battery Status Gauge

A five-LED battery gauge is located on the battery on the bottom of
the Tablet PCs. Each LED represents about 20% of available power.
You can activate the gauge by pushing the black button next to the
LEDs.
In the example shown here, two LEDs are lit, which means the
battery has about 40% of its power remaining.
