the computer is powered off in Sleep Mode, and the AC adaptor is not
connected, the main battery pack supplies power to maintain data and
programs in memory. If the battery pack is completely discharged, Sleep
Mode does not function and the computer loses all data in memory.

When the AC adaptor is not connected, the computer's main power source is a
removable lithium ion battery pack, also referred to in this manual as the main
battery. You can purchase additional battery packs for extended use of the
computer away from an AC power source.
Before you remove the battery pack, set the computer to Hibernation Mode or
save your data and shut down the computer. Do not change the battery pack while
the AC adaptor is connected.
