Batteries
The batteries take much longer than five hours to charge
• Under moderate temperatures, about 21°C (70ºF), the computer’s battery takes 4 to 5 hours to completely
charge. Under extremely cold or hot temperatures, however, the battery can take up to 16 hours to fully
charge.
The batteries don’t last very long
• Calibrate the battery using the Battery Calibration selection in Advanced Bios Setup (see Section 6 Custom-
izing Your Bios Settings for additional information). If your battery is new or has not been used for several
weeks, calibrating the battery over a weekend may substantially increase its capacity.
• As your battery ages, the maximum capacity that it can hold naturally decreases, and even the best maintained
batteries eventually need to be retired. Consider replacing the battery if you are not getting the usage you need
from it.
• You may have a defective battery. Check the battery condition with the Battery Status application.
The charging light doesn’t flash
• Verify that a battery is installed in the unit.
• This may indicate that the charging process terminated.
The gas gauge isn’t full after charging the battery
• This may indicate that the charging process terminated prematurely.
