Battery Packs

Charging a New Battery Pack

Fully charge the battery pack while the tablet PC is connected to external power through the AC adapter.

A new battery pack that has been partially charged, but not fully charged, can run the tablet PC, but battery charge displays may be inaccurate.

Charging an In-Use Battery Pack

To prolong battery life and increase the accuracy of battery charge displays:

■Allow the battery pack to discharge to less than 10 percent of a full charge through normal use before charging it.

■When you charge the battery pack, charge it fully. An in-use battery pack can be charged while the tablet PC is connected to external power through the AC adapter or an optional Automobile Power Adapter Charger, Docking Station, or DC cable.

An optional Auto/Air Cable can be used to run the tablet PC, but cannot be used to charge a battery pack.
