Chapter 2 Battery
2.1 Battery Pack
Your notebook is equipped with a high-energy rechargeable Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) battery
pack. Battery life will vary depending on the product configuration, product model,
applications loaded on the product, power management settings of the product, and the
product features used by the customer. As with all batteries, the maximum capacity of this
battery will decrease with time and usage.
2.2 Recharging The Battery Pack
Your notebook supports both on-line and off-line recharge. Follow the procedure below to
recharge battery:
Make sure the battery pack is installed in the notebook.
Connect the AC adapter to the notebook and to an electrical outlet.
When a battery pack is being recharged, the battery LED (located on the front side of the
system unit) would be lit. For details on the LED, please refer to Chapter 1.3. When the
notebook is OFF, a depleted Li-Ion battery will take three hours to recharge.
Battery User's Guide
Page 2-2
2.3 Questions And Answers
Q: I can feel a mild heat next to the battery pack during recharge. Is it normal?
A: The battery will generate heat during recharging and discharging. There is a
protection circuit inside the notebook to prevent overheating. User needs not to
worry.
Q: My battery operation time is not as long as it should be. Why?
A: The battery is heat sensitive and can only be charged to its maximum if the battery
and its environmental temperature remain within 15-25 C (59-77 F). The more the
temperature deviates from this range during recharging, the less chance there is for
the battery to be fully charged. In order to recharge the pack to its full capacity, users
are requested to cool down the unit by unplugging the AC Adapter. Wait until it is
cooled down. Then plug in the AC Adapter to start recharging again.
Q: I did not use my spare battery for a few days. Even though it was fully recharged,
there wasn't as much power left as a newly charged one. Why?
A: The batteries will self-discharge (1% per day for Li-Ion) when they are not being
recharged. To make sure a battery pack is fully charged, recharge before use. Always
keep the battery inside the notebook and have the AC adapter connected whenever
possible.
Q: I did not use my spare battery for months. I have problem in recharging it.
A: If you happen to leave your battery pack to go through an extended period of self-
discharge, say more than three months, the battery voltage level will become too low
and needs to be Pre-Charged (to bring the battery voltage level high enough) before
it automatically (for Li-Ion only) resumes its normal Fast Charge. Pre-Charge may
take 30 minutes. Fast Charge usually takes 2~3 hours.
User's Guide Battery
Page 2-3
2.4 Battery Maintenance
To maintain the battery pack's maximum capacity, you should occasionally let the notebook
deplete its battery power completely before recharging.
To carry out a complete depletion of the battery, disconnect the AC adapter and let your
notebook consume the remaining battery power. To speed up the depletion, use the HDD as
much as possible, and the LCD should be set as bright as possible. When the battery is
empty, wait for the notebook to cool down (especially the battery). The temperature should
be within 15-25 C (59-77 F). Then insert the AC adapter to recharge the battery.
2.5 Power Consumption
The Windows™ operating system has incorporated the latest state-of-the-art ACPI
(Advanced Configuration Power Interface) power management methodology. In order to
fully utilize the power of your battery packs, it would be a good idea for you to spend
sometime to acquire a basic understanding of the power management concept from your
operating system.
In Windows™ Operating Systems, you can go through Power Options of the Control
Panel according to the version of Windows™ Operating System the notebook applies.
We shall not describe them in details.
Battery User's Guide
Page 2-4
2.6 Reducing Power Consumption
Although your notebook (together with the operating system) is capable of power
conservation, there are measures you can take to reduce the power consumption:
Use the AC power whenever possible.
Lower the intensity of the LCD backlight. A very bright screen translates to higher
power usage.
Try to use the HDD to read and write files, instead of using the external USB
FDD.
Note: Whenever system is powered on or powered off, make sure the battery pack is
installed in the battery pack compartment.
2.7 Removing The Battery Pack
This battery pack can easily be removed and replaced. Make sure that the computer is
properly shutdown before changing the battery pack. If you would like to change the battery
pack while power is on, make sure this battery pack is not the only electrical source to the
system unit. Follow the steps below to remove the battery pack.
Make sure the system is properly
shutdown.
Flip the system upside down as
