Running the computer on battery power

The computer contains a removable lithium ion (Li-ion)
battery pack that provides power when you are away from an
AC outlet. This is the main battery. You can recharge it many
times.

Battery Notice

To ensure that the battery pack maintains its maximum
capacity, operate the computer on battery power at least once
a month until the battery pack is fully discharged. Refer to
“Extending Battery Life” in this document for procedures. If
the computer is continuously operated on AC power, either
through an AC adapter or a docking station for an extended
period, more than a month, the battery may fail to retain a
charge. It may not function efficiently over the expected life
of the battery and the Battery LED may not indicate a low-
battery condition.
In addition to the main battery, you may also have a second
battery installed in the Slim SelectBay. If you travel and need
to work for many hours without an AC power source, you
may purchase a battery module for use in the computer’s
