Batteries
Your X7 is shipped with two 5900 mAh batteries that are installed in bays on either side of the
X7, as shown in Figure 6 . These batteries are high efficiency lithium-ion batteries that are “hot
swappable.” That is, if you have two batteries installed, you can replace one battery while the
computer operates on the other battery. With this capability, you do not have to shut down the
computer or interrupt your current operating session in order to replace a battery.
The X7 can operate for 8 hours or longer on two fully charged batteries and up to 4 hours on a
single battery.

Battery “Fuel Gauges”
A multi-LED battery charge indicator, or “fuel gauge”, is located on each battery pack, as
illustrated in Figure 7. Each multi-LED array consists of 5 LEDs and each LED represents
approximately 20% of the total charge of the battery as follows:
LED #5 - 81-100% (far right LED)
LED #4 - 61-80%
LED #3 - 41-60%
LED #2 - 21-40%
LED #1 - 01-20% (far left LED)
Activating the Fuel Gauges
The fuel gauge indicators are not visible when the battery is installed. When a battery is disconnected,
however, you can press the battery button to activate the fuel gauge and check the current charge level.
