Batteries and Power Management

Using Battery Power

To check battery status

From the battery status light

Check the battery status light on the notebook.

From the Windows taskbar

The Windows taskbar can display a power icon that provides detailed battery status information (see Windows Help for details). The icon resembles a battery when AC power is not connected.

•Place the pointer over the power icon to display the remaining battery charge. This value is shown as either a percentage of charge remaining, or as time remaining.

•Select the power icon to open the Battery Meter window.

From the Windows Control Panel

Select Start > Control Panel > Performance and Maintenance > Power Options, then select the Power Meter tab to see the battery status. The Alarms and Advanced tabs provide additional power-information options.

On the battery

1.Remove the battery from the notebook. See the “Getting Started with Your Notebook” chapter in this guide.

2.Press the contact pad on the side of the battery. The number of lights that turn on indicates the remaining charge (each light represents 20 percent of a full charge).
