How do I maximize battery life?
To maximize battery life, do the following:
Use the battery pack until the charge is completely depleted (until the
battery status LED flashes).
Recharge the battery pack completely before using (the battery is fully
charged when the AC Adapter is plugged in and the battery status LED
is green).
For a new battery pack or a battery pack that you have not used
recently:
1. Use the battery pack until the charge is completely depleted (until
the battery status LED flashes).
2. Recharge the battery pack completely before using the computer on
battery power only (the battery is fully charged when the AC Adapter
is plugged in and the battery status LED is green).
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 three times.
