Precautions for Recharging the Battery

Adhere to the following precautions when recharging the battery.

!Use only the NEC battery charger designed for your NEC Versa battery type. Different NEC Versa models require different batteries and battery chargers.

!Charge the battery for the specified charge time only.

!During charging, keep the environmental temperature between 41°F and 95°F (5°C to 35°C).

!Read the instructions that came with the battery charger before charging the battery.

Disposing of the Battery

Before disposing of the battery, put adhesive tape on the terminals. Depending upon the NEC Versa VX model, the main battery is made of Nickel Metal-Hydride (NiMH) or Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion).

Contact your local waste management officials for information regarding environmentally sound collection, recycling, and disposal of batteries.

Internal Batteries

The Nickel Metal-Hydride or Lithium-Ion battery is the main power source in your NEC Versa VX computer. Appendix B lists battery specifications. In addition to the main battery, the CMOS battery provides power to maintain system configuration settings.

CMOS Battery

This battery provides battery backup and prevents data loss in the system’s complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) RAM. This memory area contains information on the system’s configuration, for example, date, time, drives, and memory.
