Calibrating the Battery

All batteries lose their charge if they have not been used for a long period of time. You may notice the battery gauge does not correctly display the battery charge level when you first receive your computer or if you have not used your computer for a long period of time. If the battery gauge becomes inaccurate, you must recalibrate the battery. To do this, fully charge the battery, then drain it to 0 percent (your computer will enter Hibernation mode automatically).

+

*

NOTE: Fully drain and recharge the battery at least every 60 days.

HINT: You can check the battery gauge (battery meter) by double-clicking the Battery

èicon located on the Windows Taskbar.

To recalibrate the battery, complete the following steps:

1.Plug in the AC adapter. Allow the battery to charge until the battery charge light or icon turns off, showing that the battery is fully charged.

2.After the battery charge light or icon turns off, unplug the AC adapter.

3.Turn on or restart your computer.

Steps 4 through 9 prevent your computer from entering Sleep mode. These steps allow the battery to drain faster.

4.Click Start.

5.Point to Settings.

6.Click Control Panel.

7.Click the Power Management æ icon on the Control Panel.
