Additional Notes On Batteries
❑
Keep the battery pack in the computer while it is directly connected to
AC power. The battery pack continues to charge while you are using the
computer.
❑
If your battery level falls to less than 10%, you should either attach the
AC adapter to recharge the battery or shut down your computer and insert a
fully-charged battery.
❑
You can extend battery life by changing the power management modes in the
PowerPanel utility. See “Using Power Saving Modes” on page 56.
❑
The battery pack supplied with your computer is a lithium ion battery and
can be recharged at any time. Charging a partially discharged battery does
not affect battery life.
