Battery The Armada E500 provides over 3 hours of battery life using the standard 9-cell battery. Battery Life using an
additional 9-cell battery in the DualBay is over 7 hours. Maximum battery life over 9.5 hours can be achieved using a
9-cell in the Primary Battery Bay and DualBay along with a 6-cell in the MultiBay.
NOTE: For Pentium III 900MHz and 1GHz units, Compaq provides a battery-optimized mode only while running on
battery power.
NOTE: Actual results may vary with product model, configuration, and individual usage. When tested in standard
configuration, using eTesting Labs Inc.'s BatteryMark™ Test version 4.0.1, the battery life of the Armada
E500 will range up to 3.35 hours. Standard configuration at time of announce includes an Intel Pentium 1GHz
processor, 15-inch SXGA+ panel (1050 x 1400 resolution), 128-MB RAM, 30-GB HDD, CD-RW, 9-cell
(1700mAh) battery, and combination NIC/modem. System parameters were set according to eTesting Labs
Inc. recommendations: panel brightness 50%, hard drive, standby and video idle time 3 minutes, and Intel
SpeedStep battery optimized mode. The same configuration achieved up to 7.3 hours with addition of a 9-cell
battery and up to 9.93 hours with further addition of a third battery (6-cell) in the MultiBay.
