Managing Battery Power

Conserving Battery Power

To get the most from your battery

The following are some further suggestions for the best management of your OmniBook batteries.

Do not leave batteries unused for long periods of time. If you have more than one, rotate them.

If you normally use ac power, make a practice of at least once a week using the battery as your power source.

Unplug the ac adapter when the computer is not in use.

To preserve the life of your battery, be sure to charge the battery regularly.

For long-term storage, the battery must be charged at 20-50% to prevent capacity loss and to avoid deterioration of battery performance. Storage in a 100% charged condition can cause increased deterioration of discharge capacity—even after recharging—compared to storage in a 20-50% charged condition.
