To determine the time the battery lasts, see “Displaying Battery information" in your Software Guide.

If you attach two battery packs, you can remove either of them without shutting down the computer. When removing one battery pack, make sure that the other battery pack's indicator is on. If the indicator of the battery pack you are going to remove is on, right-click on the task tray and click the "switch discharge battery" menu.

Using a Second Battery Pack

You can purchase a second rechargeable battery pack. With two battery packs, you can extend the time that you use your computer with battery power. When using two battery packs, the battery pack you insert first charges first. The battery pack you insert second charges when the first battery pack is 85 percent full. You can monitor which battery pack is charging by observing the battery indicator lights.

1 If another device is in the multi-purpose bay, remove the device. See “To remove the floppy disk drive” on page (page 37).
