RECHARGING THE BATTERY
The Lithium-Polymer battery is recharged internally using the AC adapter. To recharge the battery,
make sure the battery is installed and your Chromebook is connected to the AC.
There is no “memory effect” in Lithium-Polymer batteries; therefore you do not need to discharge
the battery completely before recharging. The charge times will be significantly longer if your
Chromebook is in use while the battery is charging. If you want to charge the battery more quickly,
put your Chromebook into Suspend mode, or turn it off while the adapter is charging the battery.
Low Battery State
When the battery charge is low, a notification message appears. If you do not respond to the low
battery message, the battery continues to discharge until it is too low to operate. When this happens,
your Chromebook goes into Suspend mode. There is no guarantee your data will be saved once
the Chromebook reaches this point.
To protect your Chromebook from damage, use only the power adapter that came
with it because each power adapter has its own power output rating.
Once your Chromebook goes into Suspend mode as a result of a dead battery you will be unable
to resume operation until you provide a source of power from an adapter. Once you have provided
power, you can press the Suspend/Power On button to resume operation. In Suspend mode, your
data is maintained for some time, but if a power source is not provided promptly, the power indicator
stops flashing and the power goes out, in which case you have lost the data that was not saved. Once
you provide power, you can continue to use your Chromebook while an adapter charges the battery.
