What kind of battery life can you expect from the Epson NB3s?
Q5.
Testing has revealed, under typical operating conditions, an estimated battery
A5.
life of 1 to 1.5 hours. Depending on the configuration and usage, the battery
life could be more or less. Since 2 batteries are included, this equates to 2 to
3 hours of working time.
Are additional batteries available? How are the batteries charged?
Q6.
Yes, additional batteries are available as an option. The batteries can be
A6.
charged in the Epson NB3s by either connecting the standard AC adapter or
installing the NB3s in the expansion unit. There is also an external battery
charger available that can charge up to 2 batteries at a time.
Can batteries be changed "on the fly"?
Q7.
No! The Epson NB3s must be powered off before changing the battery.
A7.
Attempting to change it while the computer is powered on will damage the
battery or computer (possibly both) and void the warranty.
How long does it take to fully charge the battery?
Q8.
In the Epson NB3s (either with the AC adapter or the expansion unit), it takes
A8.
5 hours with the computer turned off to fully charge the battery. When you're
using the computer, it takes 8 hours for a full charge. The external charger
produces a full charge after 5 hours. Note that if you do not completely
charge a new battery and attempt to use the computer, you may experience
atypical operation.
Are there any other power supply options?
Q9.
Yes, an automotive cigarette lighter adapter is available.
