Calibrating a battery

Calibrate a battery under the following conditions:

●When battery charge displays seem inaccurate

●When you observe a significant change in battery run time

Even if a battery is heavily used, it should not need to be calibrated more than once a month. It is also not necessary to calibrate a new battery.

Step 1: Fully charge the battery

WARNING! Do not charge the computer battery while you are onboard aircraft.

NOTE: The battery charges whether the computer is off or in use, but it charges faster when the computer is off.
