Maximizing battery life
To maximize the life of your battery:
❖ At least once a month, disconnect the computer from a
power source and operate it on battery power until the
battery fully discharges. Before doing so, follow the steps
below:
1 Turn off the computer’s power.
2 Disconnect the AC adapter and turn on the
computer’s power. If it does not turn on, go to step 4.
3 Operate the computer on battery power for five
minutes. If the battery has at least five minutes of
operating time, continue operating until the battery is
fully discharged. If the battery light flashes or there is
some other warning to indicate a low battery, go to
step 4.
