Battery
The battery is one of the most important components of your notebook. When not plugged into a
mains outlet, the notebook runs on its built-in battery. You can increase the life of the battery by
caring for the battery properly. The average battery life is around 500 charge/discharge cycles.
You can extend the battery life by taking advantage of the available energy saving functions.
Charging, caring for and maintaining the battery
The notebook battery can only be charged when the ambient temperature is between 5 °C and 35
°C.
You can charge the battery by connecting the notebook to the mains adapter (see "Power adapter:
connecting").
You can maintain long life from your battery by allowing it to discharge fully before you recharge it
again. To do this, leave your notebook turned on when it is operated with the battery. Once the
battery is running low you will hear a warning alarm. If you do not connect the mains adapter within
five minutes of the warning alarm described above, your notebook will automatically switch off.
Information on the battery charging time is contained in the "Technical data" chapter.
Monitoring the battery charging level
Windows also has a "Battery status meter" in the taskbar for monitoring the battery capacity. When
you place the mouse pointer on the battery symbol, the system displays the battery status.
Storing the battery
Keep the battery pack between 0°C and +30°C (32 and 122 degrees Fahrenheit). The lower the
temperature at which the batteries are stored, the lower is the rate of self-discharge.
If you store rechargeable batteries for a longer period (longer than two months), the battery charge
level should be approx. 30%. To prevent deep discharge, check the charging level of the battery at
regular intervals. To be able to make use of the optimal charging capacity of the batteries, the battery
should be completely discharged and then fully recharged.
