Battery FAQ
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 that indicates the battery is critically low, just let the computer use up all
of the battery power and shut down on its own. Disable the
Power Options functions in the Control Panel , es-
pecially any Alarms ( unclick the tickboxes - see page D - 20 ) and Schemes (change all the settings to Never -
see page D - 16 ). As the battery nears the end of its life save and close any critical files.
