Checking the battery pack

IdeaPad Tablet K1 Hardware Maintenance Manual

Battery charging does not start until the Power Meter shows that less than 95% of the total power remains; under this condition the battery pack can charge to 100% of its capacity. This protects the battery pack from being overcharged or from having a shortened life.

To check your battery, move your cursor to the Power Meter icon in the icon tray of the Windows® taskbar and wait for a moment (but do not click it), and the percentage of battery power remaining is displayed. To get detailed information about the battery, double-click the Power Meter icon.

Note: If the battery pack becomes hot, it may not be able to be charged. Remove it from the computer and leave it at room temperature for a while. After it cools down, reinstall and recharge it.

To check the battery pack, follow the steps below:

1.Turn off the computer. Follow the removal steps in “1020 Battery pack” on page 33 in “Removing and replacing an FRU” on page 30.

2.Measure the voltage between battery terminals 1 (+) and 14 (-). See the following figure:

14(-) 13(-)12(-)11(-)10

1(+)

2(+) 3(+)

9 8 7 6 54(+)

Terminal

Voltage (V DC)

1+0 to +8.4

14 Ground (-)

3.If the voltage is less than +11.0 V DC, the battery pack has been discharged.

Note: Recharging will be continued for at least 3 hours, even though the indicator does not light on.

If the voltage is still less than +11.0 V DC after recharging, replace the battery.

4.If the voltage is more than +11.0 V DC, measure the resistance between battery terminals 5 and 7. The resistance must be 4 to 30 KΩ.

If the resistance is not correct, replace the battery pack. If the resistance is correct, replace the system board.
