To fully discharge the battery pack:

1.Select the power icon on the taskbar or select Start > Control Panel > Performance and Maintenance icon > Power Options icon > Power Schemes tab.

2.Record all settings in the Plugged In column and all settings in the Running On Batteries column, so you can reset them after calibration.

4.Select the OK button.

5.Disconnect the notebook from the external power source, but do not turn off the notebook.

6.Run the notebook on battery power until the battery pack is fully discharged. When the battery pack is fully discharged, the battery light turns off and the notebook shuts down.
