Bridge Battery
The bridge battery is a NiCad battery that is
built into your notebook and is constantly
being recharged under AC Power. A bridge
battery allows a charged Lithium ion battery
to be exchanged for a discharged one by
"warm-swapping".
To warm-swap have a charged battery ready,
put your notebook in Suspend mode, remove
the low battery and quickly insert a charged
battery. The bridge battery capacity is not
large, about 3 minutes, and can vary with the
condition of your notebook.
C A U T I O N
Data may be lost and/or system
errors introduced if the warm swap
is not performed quickly.
