User's Guide Battery Chapter 2 Battery Battery Pack Your notebook is equipped with a high-energy rechargeable Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) battery pack. Battery life will vary depending on the product configuration, product model, applications loaded on the product, power management settings of the product, and the product features used by the customer.
Battery User's Guide Questions And Answers I can feel a mild heat next to the battery pack. Is it normal? The battery will generate heat during recharging and discharging. There is a protection circuit inside the notebook to prevent overheating. User needs not to worry.
User's Guide Battery 2.4 Battery Maintenance To maintain the battery pack's maximum capacity, you should occasionally let the notebook deplete its battery power completely before recharging. To carry out a complete depletion of the battery, disconnect the AC adapter and let your notebook consume the remaining battery power.
Battery User's Guide Reducing Power Consumption Although your notebook (together with the operating system) is capable of power conservation, there are measures you can take to reduce the power consumption: • Use the AC power whenever possible. • Lower the intensity of the LCD backlight. A very bright screen translates to higher power usage.

If you would like to change the battery pack while power is on, make sure this battery pack is not the only electrical source to the system unit.
