Measuring the Remaining Battery Charge

You can view the battery charge status by completing the following procedures.

Confirming the battery charge in the Taskbar

Disconnect the AC adapter and move the mouse cursor over the battery icon in the system tray of the Taskbar to confirm the remaining battery charge.

Battery Usage Time Information

A battery is an expendable supply, so when using it over a long time, the capacity/battery life is shortened. If the battery life is reduced to under half of its initial time, we recommend purchasing a new battery.

When not using the battery for a long time, store the battery after charging it to 30-40% of its capacity. This extends the battery life time.
