How do I maintain the battery ?
Completely discharge and charge the battery at least once every 30
days or after about 20 partial discharges.
Conserving battery power:
Advanced Power Management:
Your notebook computer has Advanced Power Management
(APM) features which slow down the speed of the processor and
components. Using these features will help conserve battery power.
Display brightness:
The LCD display consumes a lot of power, so setting the brightness
level to low will save power.
Applications and external devices:
Different applications and external devices consume battery power
even when they are not being used.
To conserve battery power we recommend:
· Closing modem or communication applications when they are not
being used.
· Removing any unused PC Cards from the computer.
PC Cards quickly use up battery power even if the system enters
Suspend mode.
· Removing any unnecessary external devices from the computer.
