During use as a portable, the notebook runs on its built-in battery. You can increase
the service life of the battery by caring for the battery properly. The average battery
service life is around 500 charge/discharge cycles.
You can extend the battery service life by taking advantage of the available energy saving functions.

The notebook battery can only be charged if the ambient temperature is between
5°C / 41°F and a maximum of 35°C / 95°F.
You can charge the battery by connecting the notebook to the AC adapter

"Connecting the AC adapter", Page 18
).
Be aware that the battery will not charge when the battery charge level is between
90% and 100%. If the battery charge level is less than 90% and the AC adapter
is connected, the battery charges up to 100%.
