Charging, caring for and maintaining the battery

The notebook battery can only be charged, when the ambient temperature is between 5°C and max. 35°C.

You can charge the battery by connecting the notebook to the mains adapter (see "Mains adapter connecting", Page 16).

If the battery is running low you will hear a warning alarm. If you do not connect the mains adapter within five minutes of the warning alarm described above, your notebook will automatically switch off.

monitoring the battery charging level

Windows also has a "Battery status meter" in the taskbar for monitoring the battery capacity. When you place the mouse pointer on the battery symbol, the system displays the battery status.

Battery storage

Keep the battery pack between 0°C and +30°C. The lower the temperature at which the batteries are stored, the lower the rate of self-discharge.

If you will be storing batteries for a longer period (longer than two months), the battery charge level should be approx. 30 %. To prevent exhaustive discharge which would permanently damage the battery, check the level of charge of the battery at regular intervals.

To be able to make use of the optimal charging capacity of the batteries, the battery should be completely discharged and then fully recharged.

If you do not use the batteries for long periods, remove them from the notebook. Never store the batteries in the device.

Removing and installing the battery

Only use rechargeable batteries approved by Fujitsu Technology Solutions for your notebook.

Never use force when fitting or removing a battery.

Make sure that no foreign bodies get into the battery connections.

Never store a battery for longer periods in the discharged state. This can make it impossible to recharge.
