Appendix C: Battery Information
Please follow these simple guidelines to get the best use out of your
battery.
New battery:
Always use a new battery before recharging it.
Battery life:
Battery life may be shortened through improper maintenance. To
optimize the life and improve the performance of your battery, fully
discharge and recharge the battery at least once every 30 days.
Battery gauge:
The battery has an internal gauge which measures the battery life.
The gauge relies on a battery’s “memory” to determine the level it must
stop charging or discharging the battery. This “memory” will become
distorted if you partially charge or partially discharge the battery too
often.
To increase the accuracy of the gauge, you must fully discharge and
then fully recharge the battery at least once every 30 days or after about
20 partial discharges.
How do I completely discharge the battery ?
Use the computer with battery power until it shuts down due to a
low battery. Don’t turn off the computer by yourself even when you
see a message or hear beeps that indicate the battery is critically low,
just let the computer use up all of the battery power and shut down on
its own.
How do I fully charge the battery ?
When charging the battery, don’t stop until the battery LED
indicator light is green.
