Charging the Battery

Charge time depends on whether or not you are using the system. There are two ways to charge
your battery while it is installed in the Versa Note VX:
n
When the system is off or in Suspend mode and the AC adapter is connected, charge
time is approximately 3 hours.
n
When the system is powered on and the AC adapter is connected, charge time is
approximately 4 hours.
For maximum battery performance, fully discharge the battery before recharging it. To do so,
unplug the AC adapter, turn off power management features (through BIOS Setup and Windows
power management), and turn on the system. Once the battery is fully discharged, plug in the
AC adapter and recharge the battery.
The warning beep that sounds when battery power becomes critically low is always a true
indicator that battery power is low. Be sure to save your data when you hear the beep and take
proper steps to provide power to your system.
