INTERNAL BATTERIES
As you have seen, a Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) battery provides the main power
source in your NEC Versa computer. See Appendix B for a list of Li-Ion
battery specifications. In addition to this battery, the CMOS battery and
bridge battery also provide system power.
CMOS Battery
This lithium battery provides battery backup and prevents data loss in the
system’s complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) RAM. This
memory area contains information on the system’s configuration, for exam-
ple date, time, drives, and memory. The CMOS battery lasts approximately
two years. An authorized NEC service technician should replace the CMOS
battery for you.
Have your NEC Versa serviced by an NEC authorized service center. Call
Customer Service at (800) 632-4525 for the dealer nearest you.
Bridge Battery
The internal 7.2 volt bridge battery saves your system status in Suspend
mode for up to five minutes. Suspend mode is a feature that halts all system
operations temporarily when you need to be away from your NEC Versa for
a short period. This gives you time to install a fully charged battery or plug
in AC power when your battery charge becomes low. An authorized NEC
service technician should replace the bridge battery for you.
