Battery

The battery is one of the most important components of your notebook. When not plugged into a
mains outlet, the notebook runs on its built-in battery. You can increase the life of the battery by
caring for the battery properly. The average service life of a properly cared-for battery is approx. 500
charging/discharging cycles.
You can extend the battery life by taking advantage of the available energy saving functions.
Only use batteries released for your notebook.

Take care not to drop the batteries or otherwise damage their casing (fire risk).
If the rechargeable batteries are defective, they must not be used.
Do not touch the contacts of the batteries.
Never interconnect the positive and negative terminals of a battery.
Used batteries must be disposed of in accordance with local regulations (special waste).

you switch on the notebook, it takes a few seconds before the battery status is displayed.
You can charge the battery by connecting the notebook to the power adapter (see "Connecting the
power adapter").
