Over time, as the battery is charged and discharged, it gradually stores
less charge. Li-Ion cells generally last for 500 or more cycles before they
begin to deteriorate. You should replace your battery when you notice
that it begins to store significantly less charge.
If you replace the battery with a new one, you might first need to fully
charge the battery so that the battery gauge in your WinBook notebook
will be able to accurately measure the battery charge level. Check the
WinBook section of the Windows Help and Support center for information
about replacing a battery in your system.
Changing
You can purchase a second battery for your WinBook notebook.
