Bridge battery
Beneath the unit’s hard disk drive bay lies the bridge battery. This rechargeable 3.6V
battery provides power for certain functions when the unit is not connected to a
power source (AC or battery). It automatically charges while the unit uses either
power source and is designed to last for the life of the unit. However, the instructions
below detail the procedure for removal and replacement if necessary:
Starting, Stopping, and Restarting
