3.6Battery Management
The A360 supports both
3.6.1Battery Sub-system
•The charger will stop charge the battery when the following condition is detected.
−The temperature of the system is too high
−The remaining capacity is 95% and more.
• Battery Life | 2.5 to 3 Hours. |
•Battery reading methodology is through PMU07 SMBus.
Note that the battery life is dependent on different configuration running. E.g. with
3.6.2Battery Low Warning
When the battery capacity remains 8%, the PMU07 will generate a battery warning SMI. The system will do the following action.
−The Power LED Indicator will continually blinking with 1 Hz.
−The system issues a warning beep (3 beeps at once).
3.6.3Battery Low
When the battery capacity remains 3%, the system will generate a battery low SMI. The system will do the following action.
−The system will enter Suspend To Disk mode even the power management is
