HARDWARE OVERVIEW—INTERNAL COMPONENTS
Review the following sections for a description of the system’s internal hardware.
Battery Pack
The system uses a rechargeable lithium-ion (Li-Ion) battery or rechargeable nickel metal-
hydride (NiMH) as its transient power source. The battery pack installs in the compartment
next to the CD ROM reader on the front of the NEC Versa. The Li-Ion battery stores 14.4
volts with a 2700 mAh capacity and the NiMH stores 9.6 volts with a 3500 mAh capacity.
The battery pack powers the NEC Versa for approximately 1:40 to 4 hours depending on
battery type and power management choice.
When battery power is getting low, connect the AC adapter to a wall outlet and recharge
the battery. It takes 3 to 4 hours to recharge the battery.
