Battery Life

Battery life may be shortened through improper maintenance. To optimize
the life and improve its performance, fully discharge and recharge the
3
battery at least once every 30 days.
We recommend that you do not remove the battery yourself. If you do need to
remove the battery for any reason (e.g. long term storage) see "Removing the
Battery" on page 6 - 3.
New Battery
Always completely discharge, then fully charge, a new battery (see "Battery
FAQ" on page 3 - 14 for instructions on how to do this).

Recharging the Battery with the AC/DC Adapter

The battery pack automatically recharges when the AC/DC adapter is attached
and plugged into an electrical outlet. If the computer is powered on, and in use,
it will take several hours to fully recharge the battery. When the computer is
turned off but plugged into an electrical outlet, battery charge time is less. (Re-
fer to "System Map: LCD Panel Open on Chapter 1" for information on the
battery charge status, and to "Battery Information" on page 3 - 10 for more
information on how to maintain and properly recharge the battery pack.)
