Battery Gauges

Ensuring Battery Gauge Accuracy

The computer uses a rechargeable lithium ion battery pack with a
built-in battery gauge. Follow these guidelines to ensure battery
gauge accuracy:
Allow new battery packs and battery packs that have been
unused for two weeks or more to fully charge before you
disconnect the external power source.
Allow a battery pack to fully charge as often as practicable
before removing the external power source.
Allow a battery pack to discharge to the low-battery warning
level as often as practicable—at least every 90 days.
