Responding to Low Battery
Conditions
Hint
The computer has two ways to give you advanced warning that the battery is
nearing depletion.
• As the charge in the battery is reduced, peak power loads, such as disk
accesses, can cause the BAT indicator to indicate low battery power for
short periods of time.
• In Windows, double-clicking on the Battery Level icon in the Notebook
Group displays an estimate of the percentage of charge remaining in the
battery.
