RECHARGEABLE BATTERY PACK
For mobile computing, your Compaq Aero 2100 Series draws power from
a rechargeable Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) battery pack. When the battery is
fully charged, it can store enough energy to power your device for several
hours. If you use heavy power-using features such as the screen backlight,
you will discharge the battery faster. If you frequently use the device with
battery power for a long duration exceeding several hours, you may want
to purchase a spare battery.
Changing the Battery Pack
To remove and replace the battery pack in your Compaq Aero 2100
Series, follow the steps below. Before removing the battery, always verify
that the coin-sized backup battery is installed in the device and has a
rating of Low to Good.
CAUTION: The backup battery maintains the data held in your
Compaq Aero 2100 Series whenever the battery is low, or if the
battery pack is removed. The backup battery is not rechargeable, so
when you change battery packs, do not cause an unnecessary drain
on the backup battery by leaving the device without a battery pack
for more than a short period of time.
