Removing the Extended-Life Battery
Remove the Extended-Life Battery using the same procedure that is used for the 3-cell primary
battery. See the instructions in the section, "Removing the Existing Primary Battery" earlier in
this document.
Charging the Battery
The Extended-Life Battery is the primary battery in your system. Charge a primary battery and
secondary battery (if any) by simply connecting your NEC system to an AC power source. To
monitor the charging activity, observe the battery charging LED on the front of the system. The
battery charging LED lights as follows:
Lights amber when the Extended-Life Battery (primary battery) is charging.
!
Blinks amber if the Extended-Life Battery (primary battery) encounters an error while
!
charging.
Lights green when the secondary battery is charging.
!
Blinks green if the secondary battery encounters an error while charging.
!
and 104°F (0°C to 40°C).
For directions on getting a detailed battery status, see the section, "Determining Battery Status."
Determining Battery Status
Your NEC Versa system provides tools to help you keep track of battery power levels. Track
power levels for the Extended-Life Battery (which is your primary battery) and the secondary
battery (if one is installed) using these tools. If your system is configured (default setting) to
display the Power icon on the taskbar, an electrical plug appears when the system is connected
to an AC power source and a battery icon displays when the system is not connected to an AC
power source.
Use the system's power meter to determine battery status. Access the system's power meter in
the following ways:
Move the cursor over the Power icon on the taskbar to display the remaining battery power
!
for the Extended-Life Battery (the system's primary battery).
Right click the Power icon on the taskbar to open the power meter or to adjust power
!
properties.
Double click the Power icon on the taskbar to display the remaining power for both the
!
Extended-Life Battery (the primary battery) and the secondary battery (if any).
Go to Start, Settings, Control Panel, and double click the Power Management icon and
!
select the Power Meter tab.
