3 Select Boot Menu > Smart Battery Calibration and press the Enter key.

4 Select Yes from the Battery Calibration Confirmation window and press the Enter key. The Battery Calibration starts. To stop it, press the Esc key.

It takes about three to five hours depending on the battery capacity and residual amount.
