LITHIUM ION BATTERY
Lithium ion Battery
Your Lithium ion battery is durable and long
lasting but should not be exposed to extreme
temperatures, high voltages, chemicals or
other hazards.
Warm Swapping
Your C Series notebook comes equipped with
a bridge battery. A bridge battery allows a
charged Lithium ion battery to be exchanged
for a discharged one by "warm-swapping".
To warm-swap, have a charged battery ready to
install, put your notebook in Suspend mode,
remove the low battery and quickly insert the
charged battery. The bridge battery capacity is
not large, and can vary with the condition of
your notebook, so you will have 3 minutes at
the most to make the change.
Batteries can, of course, also be "cold-swapped",
i.e. with the notebook powered off and the AC
adapter disconnected. In this case there is no
time limit.
