Battery Pack

mode, a fully depleted battery gets fully charged in approximately two hours.

Charge-in-use mode

When the computer is in use with the AC adapter plugged in, the computer also charges the battery pack if installed. This mode will take longer to fully charge a battery than rapid mode. In charge-in-use mode, a fully depleted battery gets fully charged in approximately six to eight hours.

Trickle mode

When the battery is fully charged, the adapter changes to trickle mode to maintain the battery charge level. This prevents the battery from draining while the computer is in use.

Note: We suggest that you charge the battery pack before retiring for the day, letting it charge overnight before traveling. This ensures a fully charged battery for use the next day.

Checking the Battery Level

The computer features battery-low warning signals that are both audible and visible. When the battery pack is low, the computer emits warning beeps and the battery indicator flashes at regular intervals. Also, you can check the battery charge level using the Windows battery gauge.

Using the Windows Battery Meter

The Windows battery meter indicates the present battery level. Simply rest your cursor on the battery gauge (or AC plug) icon on the taskbar to see the present charge level of your battery.
