Recalibrating the battery
If your notebook unexpectedly goes into Sleep mode while you

Connect the AC adapter, then turn on your notebook.

As soon as your notebook starts and you see a startup
screen, press F2. The BIOS Setup utility opens.

by pressing the spacebar.

then press E

Select Yes, then press E

opens showing you the progress. The entire process
takes several hours.

accurate battery charge.
To recalibrate the battery without using BIOS:

charge completely.

Do not interrupt the battery recalibration process. If recalibration is
interrupted, you must start the process over again.

Select models have the Battery Auto Learning utility programmed into the
BIOS. If your notebook does not have this utility in BIOS, use the non-BIOS
procedure.
