Using and maintaining your battery

Your notebook comes equipped with an intelligent Lithium Ion battery that can be recharged many times. Your battery is used only when your notebook is not connected to an AC outlet. When your computer is connected to your plugged-in AC adapter, the notebook uses AC power directly and recharges the battery at the same time. The battery will recharge faster if the notebook is turned off while the AC is plugged in. A full recharge requires approximately 3 hours with the computer turned off and 6 hours with the computer turned on.

Your battery has an LED gauge that indicates how much power remains. To determine how much of the battery's charge remains, press the indicator button on the battery. The LEDs will light to signify the percentage of charge remaining.

When the battery is running low, the Windows operating system will display a prompt screen. This power alert feature can be set or updated by clicking Start > Control Panel > Power Options > Alarm.

Any time your battery charge falls below 25%, you should reconnect the AC
