Learning About Battery Packs

The computer accommodates up to three rechargeable battery
packs at one time. Battery packs are supported in the:
Battery bay in the computer (primary battery pack)
DualBay in the computer (secondary battery pack)
MultiBay in the computer (third battery pack)
With the computer turned off, each battery pack will recharge in
less than three hours. With the computer turned on, each battery
pack will recharge in less than five hours.
If two fully charged battery packs are installed, one can be
removed while the computer is on without affecting system
operation. With only one battery pack installed, turn off the
computer or initiate Hibernation before removing a battery, or
connect to external AC power before removing the battery pack.
For more information on using Hibernation, see Chapter 4.
Before removing a battery pack when the computer is in suspend,
ensure that the computer is connected to a fully charged battery
pack or AC power source. For more information on using
Suspend, see Chapter 4.
WARNING:
!
There is a risk of fire and burns if the battery pack is not handled
properly. Do not disassemble, crush, puncture, short external
contacts, or dispose of in fire or water. Do not expose to
temperatures higher than 60 C. Replace only with the Compaq
spare designated for this product.
