Battery Packs
Using a New Battery Pack
Charge the battery pack in the notebook battery bay while connected to an external power source or while docked in the MEU.
A new battery pack should be fully charged before it is used for the first time. The battery pack will work without being fully charged, but the battery gauge will not show an accurate charge until the battery pack receives its first full charge.
Replacing a Battery Pack
You can resolve a low battery condition by replacing a discharged battery pack.
ÄCAUTION: If you are removing a battery pack that is the only power source available to the system while the notebook is on, initiate Hibernation before removing the battery pack. Failure to do so will result in loss of information. If the notebook is on and connected to more than one power source, you can remove a battery pack without initiating Hibernation.
