How do I maintain the battery ?
Completely discharge and charge the battery at least once every 30 days or after
about 20 partial discharges.

Conserving Battery Power:

Advanced Power Management:
Your notebook computer has Advanced Power Management (APM) features
which slow down the speed of the processor and components when the
system is inactive. Using these features will help conserve battery power.
Display brightness:
The LCD display consumes a lot of power, so setting the brightness level to low
will save power.
Applications and external devices:
Different applications and external devices consume battery power even
when they are not being used.
To conserve battery power we recommend:
·
Closing modem or communication applications when they are not being
used.
·
Removing any unused PC Cards from the computer.
PC Cards quickly use up battery power even if the system enters
Suspend mode.
·
Removing any unnecessary external devices from the computer.
