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. To speed up the depletion, use the HDD
as much as possible, and the LCD should be set as bright as possible. When the battery is
empty, wait for the notebook to cool down (especially the battery). The temperature should
be within 15-25°C (59-77°F). Then insert the AC adapter to recharge the battery.
2.5 Power Consumption
The Windows® XP, the latest Windows operating systems, has incorporated the latest
state-of-the-art ACPI (A
dvanced Configuration Power Interface) power management
methodology. In order to fully utilize the power of your battery packs, it would be a good
idea for you to spend sometime to acquire a basic understanding of the power management
concept from your operating system.
In Windows® Operating Systems, you can go through Power Options of the Control
Panel according to the version of Windows® Operating System the notebook applies.
We shall not describe them in details. The Power Options in Windows® XP are further
divided into as below:
• Power Schemes
• Alarms
