Management
When an electrical outlet is not available or is not convenient, the power
management of your battery plays a crucial role in the use of your personal
computer. This section explains how to care for your battery to maximize its life
and effectiveness.
Battery Packs
Your computer accommodates up to three rechargeable battery packs at one
time. Battery packs are supported into the following areas of your computer:
Primary Battery Bay (Primary Battery Location)
DualBay (Second Battery Location)
MultiBay (Third Battery Location)
With the computer turned off, each battery pack will recharge in less than three
hours. With the computer turned on, each battery pack will recharge in less than
five hours.
If two fully charged battery packs are installed, one can be removed while the
computer is on without affecting system operation.
CAUTION: Before removing a battery pack, ensure that the computer
is connected to a fully charged battery pack or AC power source.
WARNING: Your computer contains a lithium-ion battery pack. There
is a risk of fire and burns if the battery pack is not handled properly. Do
not disassemble, crush, puncture the short external contacts, or dispose
of in fire or water. Do not expose to temperatures higher than 60°C.
Replace only with the Compaq spare designated for this product.
Also, Batteries/battery packs and accumulators should not be disposed
of with general household waste. In order to forward them to recycling
or proper disposal, please use the public collection system or return
them to Compaq, your authorized Compaq Partners, or other agents.
