The plastic front bezel on the battery slides back and forth, which allows it to be used in the options bay as a secondary battery, and can be removed.

On the back of the battery is a battery charge gauge. The five charge-level lights indicate the total battery charge, ranging from fully charged to com- pletely discharged. Press the status button to the right of the lights to check the level of the total battery charge. See “Battery Charge Gauge” in Chapter 1 for more information.
