Battery Charging

The time to completely recharge your main battery should
be about the same whether or not your system is powered
on or off. Recharge time is approximately 4 hours.
For maximum battery performance, fully discharge the
battery before recharging it. To do so, unplug the AC
adapter, turn off power management features (through
Setup and Windows), and turn on the system. (Do not leave
any applications running.) Once the battery is fully dis-
charged, plug in the AC adapter and recharge the battery.
The warning beep that sounds when battery power becomes
critically low is always a true indicator that battery power is
low. Be sure to save your data when you hear the beep and
take proper steps to provide power to your
system.

Battery Disposal

Before disposing of the main battery, put adhesive tape on
the terminals. The main battery is made of Lithium Ion
(Li-Ion).
Contact your local waste management officials for infor-
mation regarding environmentally sound collection, recy-
cling, and disposal of batteries.

INTERNAL BATTERIES

NEC Versa 5000 computer.
