Calibrating Your Battery for Best Performance

To get the longest running time from your PowerBook battery, let the battery run down and then fully charge it one time. Follow these steps:

1Plug in the power adapter and fully charge your PowerBook battery until the battery indicator lights and the onscreen meter (see page 50) indicate that the battery is fully charged.

2Disconnect the power adapter and use your PowerBook until you see the first low battery warning.

3Connect the power adapter and leave it connected until the battery is fully charged again.

Important You only have to fully discharge and then charge your battery once to calibrate it. After that, you can connect and disconnect the power adapter when the battery is at any charge level.
