You are advised to keep the computer power off while the battery is being charged.
When the battery is fully charged, the Battery Indicator lights green.
It takes approximately2.5 to 3 hours to fully charge one battery pack. For models
having both the main battery pack and second battery pack, the two are charged
in parallel.
CAUTION: After the computer has been fully recharged, do not
immediately disconnect and reconnect the AC adapter to charge
it again. Doing so may damage the battery.
Initializing the Battery Pack
You need to initialize a new battery pack before using it for the first time or when
the actual operating time of a battery pack is much less than expected. Initializing
is the process of fully charging, discharging, and then charging. It can take several
hours.
A software tool called “Gauge Reset” is provided for the purpose. Use the G-Manager
program and select the Battery tab to find the tool.
Checking the Battery Level
NOTE: Any battery level indication is an estimated result. The
actual operating time can be different from the estimated time,
depending on how you are using the computer.
You can find the battery icon on the Windows taskbar (lower-right corner). The
icon shows the approximate battery level.
For models having both the main battery pack and second battery pack, the two
are discharged in parallel.
Battery Low Signals and Actions
The battery icon changes appearance to display the current state of the battery.
