Aside from the AC adapter, your computer can also be powered through the removable battery pack. The battery pack uses rechargeable or Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) battery cells that can run for 2 to 2.5 hours when fully charged and power management enabled. Recharging the battery takes around 2.5 to 3 hours when the computer is off.

You should always leave the battery inside your computer even when using the AC adapter as it also acts as back-up power supply in case power from the AC adapter is cut off. It is also very important to have the battery pack always charged to prevent battery cell degradation. If the AC adapter is not connected or not available, and the notebook is not going to be used for some period, it is advisable to remove the battery pack from the notebook to prevent any current leak.
