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 bat-
tery 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 , espe-
cially any Alarms ( unclick the tickboxes - see page E - 25 ) and Schemes (change
all the settings to Never - see page E - 20 ). As the battery nears the end of its life save
and close any critical files.

When charging the battery, don’t stop until the LED charging indicator light changes

Completely discharge and charge the battery at least once every 30 days or after
about 20 partial discharges.
