Power
The computer operates on AC or battery power. This section contains the information you need to know to operate the computer on battery power. This section also includes information about the computer’s unique power management system.
Battery Pack
The computer uses a single high-capacity Lithium- Ion smart battery pack that gives you longer use between charges. The battery pack includes the following features:
qLithium-Ion Technology. Lithium-ion technology does not have the memory-effect problem of nickel–cadmium (NiCd) batteries, nor the temperature problem of nickel–metal– hydride (NiMH) batteries. Lithium ion batteries consistently provide the longest battery life and the best solution for road warriors.
qBattery Gauge. The battery pack contains a built-in gauge that allows you to check the battery charge level even when the battery is not installed inside the computer.
qBattery-Low Warning. When the battery charge level becomes low, the battery indicator flashes at regular intervals, warning you that the battery pack’s power is low and needs to be recharged.
