3. If the voltage is less than +11.0 V dc, the battery pack has been discharged.
4. If the voltage is more than +11.0 V dc, measure the resistance between battery

Checking the backup battery

Do the following:
1. Power off the computer, and unplug the ac adapter from it.
2. Turn the computer upside down.
3. Remove the battery pack (see "1010 Battery pack" on page 63).
4. Remove the backup battery (see "1110 Backup battery" on page 85).
5. Measure the voltage of the backup battery. See the following figure.
