Recharging the Batteries

If you want to check the condition of either the internal Lithium ion Smart battery or the exter- nal Lithium ion Smart battery, check the Battery Level indicators located on the Status Indicator panel. These indicators change as the battery levels change. Battery 1 is the internal Lithium ion Smart battery and Battery 2 is the external Lithium ion Smart battery. (Figure 2-3 on page 23.) You can also check the PowerPanel toolbar. (See pages 43-47.)

The Lithium ion batteries are recharged inter- nally using the AC adapter or auto/airline adapter. To recharge the batteries:

■Make sure the battery to be charged is installed, then connect the AC adapter or auto/airline adapter.

■Make sure that the Battery Charging indicator to the left of the Battery Level indicator

of the battery to be charged is visible on the Status Indicator panel.

■The percentage charge is shown inside the Battery Level icon. (Figure 2-4 on page 25.)

When two Lithium ion batteries are installed, the charge/discharge rate of the internal and external Lithium ion batteries are the same, when they are connected in parallel and are both charging and/or discharging at the same time. Since the rates are the same, one may finish charging or discharging before the other if they were not at the same charge le vel when they were installed and/or the AC or auto/airline adapter was connected. You can choose to have the batteries charged in series instead of in parallel, which will change the relative charging rates for the two batteries.

There is no memory effect on the Lithium ion batteries, which means that you do not need to discharge them completely before recharging. A single fully discharged Lithium ion Smart bat - tery will charge in approximately three (3) hours when your notebook is Off or in Suspend mode. The charging time from fully discharged for two Lithium ion batteries together, is approximately 5 hours when your notebook is Off or in Suspend mode.Of course partially charged batteries will not take as long to charge.

The charge times will be significantly longer if your notebook is in use while the batteries are charging (from approximately nine (9) hours for one battery to approximately 15 hours for two batteries with normal operating levels).

C A U T I O N

Using heavy current devices such as LAN cards or frequent CD-ROM accesses may prevent charging completely.

Low Battery State

When the battery is running low, your note- book beeps about every 15 seconds and the Battery Level indicator(s) flash. If you do not respond to the low battery alarm,the batteries will continue to discharge until they are too low to operate. When this happens there will be a multiple beep alarm,the Battery Level indicator will show dead battery, and your notebook will go into Suspend mode to try and protect your data as long as possible. Your power manage- ment settings do not affect whether the dead
