Monitoring the Battery Charge
To monitor in control panel

Power supply status
Remaining battery charge
Using the battery
Battery is an expendable supply, so when you use it for a long time, the capacity/battery life is shortened. If the battery life is reduced to under half of the initial time, we recommend that you purchase a new battery to use.
Battery Warning
You will hear an alarm when the remaining battery charge is under 10%. Connect the power cable or turn off the computer and install a fully charged battery.
When the remaining battery charge is under 3%, the computer automatically saves current work and turns off. This may be different according to the settings in Control Panel > Performance and Maintenance > Power Options > Alarms tab.
If the remaining battery level is less than 5% when you turned on the system
The system will shut down during the start up process to prevent any loss of data. Connect the AC adapter, and then turn the system on.
