• About the battery life
-
Batteries are consumable and gradually deteriorate with the passage of time
even when they are not used. Therefore, to check the condition of your battery
pack, you should run your computer on the battery pack at least once a month.
- Leaving the battery pack in a hot place for a long time accelerates the deterioration
of the battery.
- The battery pack is consumable and its chargeability decreases gradually as it
is used. When the battery reaches the end of its useful life, replace it with a new
one.
- The battery becomes exhausted in a very short time when its useful life is ending.
- When the battery reaches the end of its useful life, remove it from the computer.
Leaving a dead battery in the computer could cause shock hazards or fire.
• About the disposal of the battery pack
-
Before disposing of the battery pack, take necessary measures to prevent it
from shorting, for example, sealing its connector with an insulating tape. After
removing the internal battery pack, do not mix it with other types of battery.
The internal battery pack (lithium-ion battery) contains precious resources.
Therefore, you should dispose of the disused battery pack as a recyclable material
if possible.
• About the operating time
-
The energy saving features of your computer helps you conserve battery power.
- Battery life greatly varies depending on the ambient temperature. The life of a
battery may shorten when it is used in a cold place.
• You should power your computer from the AC adapter when:
-
Using an online service or navigating the Internet
- Using the hard disk or DVD/CD drive frequently
- Connecting to a LAN
- Resetting the computer to the factory defaults
- Connecting two or more external devices, such as PC cards and USB devices,
to your computer at the same time.
