Using Battery Power - Asus Eee PC 701SD Series Hardware Manual

Using Battery Power

The Eee PC is designed to work with a removable battery pack. The
battery pack consists of a set of battery cells housed together. A
fully charged pack will provides your Eee PC a few hours of working
power, but the actual figure varies depending on your general work
habits, the CPU, system memory size, and the size of the display
panel. Additional battery packs are optional and can be purchased
separately through an Eee PC retailer.
Remember to fully charge the battery (8 hours or more) before
first use and whenever it is depleted to prolong battery life. The
battery reaches its maximum capacity after a few full charging
and discharging cycles.
Installing and Removing the Battery Pack
Your Eee PC may not have its battery pack installed. If not, use the
following procedures to install the battery pack.
