Bridge Battery
The Versa P has an internal bridge battery that acts as a
safety net. The bridge battery keeps the memory contents
and system status when the system is in Suspend mode and
the main battery pack is removed.
To swap a drained battery with a charged battery, you do
not have to turn off system power if the system is in
Suspend mode. The bridge battery retains the data you are
currently working with while you replace the main battery.
TIP: The bridge battery supplies power for up to
five minutes while the system is in Suspend mode.
The bridge battery is easy to keep charged. You recharge
the bridge battery whenever you plug in the AC adapter. It's
a good idea to leave your Versa P plugged in for 24 hours
at least once a month to ensure that your bridge battery is
fully charged.
