General Operating Instructions
T
emperature
WARNING: Only use the Universal Laptop Battery in ambient temperatures that do not exceed 130°F (54.4°C). It is
normal for the battery to become warm during use. For
precautionary measures the battery may shut down temporarily if it reaches a temperature of 140°F (60°C). The
battery will resume normal operation once it has cooled off
sufficiently. Avoid placing the battery in direct sunlight, next to
heat sensitive materials or in automobiles that may reach
extreme temperatures. Do not charge or use the Universal
Battery in temperatures in excess of 130°F (54.4°C). When
the battery is hot do not charge it until it cools.

If the Universal Laptop Battery becomes hot and the LEDs
display blinking red lights, disconnect the output cable from
the laptop immediately. Wait until the battery cools before
re-attaching the output cable and resuming use. If the
Universal Laptop Battery is not hot and the LEDs display red
blinking lights during use, power the battery with the AC
adapter for 1 minute. If the red lights continue to be displayed
contact your local dealer for further assistance.
Low Battery W
arning
Prior to exhausting the battery's power supply a warning
beep will sound notifying you to shut down the laptop or find
an alternative power supply. If the laptop’s original internal
battery is inserted the laptop will automatically switch to that
battery without interruption.
Run-T
ime
The Universal Laptop Battery provides power in a manner
similar to that of an AC adapter. If there is an internal battery
in the laptop during use, the Universal Battery will simultaneously power the laptop and charge the internal battery. This
additional power drain will lower the actual run-time of the
Universal Laptop Battery. However, your laptop will now have
additional run-time available from the fully charged internal
battery pack.
To exclusively use the Universal Battery to power the laptop
and receive maximum run-time, remove the internal battery
(if your laptop will continue to run without an internal battery)
Universal Laptop Battery - User’s Manual

or make sure the internal battery is completely charged
before use. A defective internal battery may deplete the
Universal Laptop Battery without retaining the transferred
power in its cells.
