If you replace the battery with a new one, you might first need to initialize
the battery so that the battery gauge in your WinBook notebook will be
able to accurately measure the battery charge level. Check the WinBook
section of the Windows Me Help and Support center or the WinBook Help
file in Windows 2000 under “Battery Replacement” for information about
replacing a battery in your system.
Over time, as the battery is charged and discharged, it gradually stores less
charge. Li-Ion cells generally last for 500 or more cycles before they begin
to deteriorate. You should replace your battery when you notice that it
begins to store significantly less charge.
Changing
You can purchase a second battery for your WinBook notebook. This
second battery can be installed in the battery bay. (Figure 3.1)
1. Shut down the unit or place it in the hibernate mode. Disconnect the
AC Adapter. Close the LCD panel and turn the unit upside down. The
front of the unit should be toward you.
2. Lift the release latch to release the battery from the bay. The battery
will now be angled slightly out of the bay.
You can connect and dis-
connect the power cord
while working without
disrupting the functioning
of the system, as long as your
battery is in place and has at
least some charge remaining.
