The battery pack has a function for measuring, storing and learning about battery capacity.
Using this function properly to accurately display remaining battery capacity requires that the
battery pack be fully charged (charged to 100%), then fully discharged, and then fully
charged again. This procedure should be performed once after you purchase the computer.
As you use the battery pack over a long period of time, the remaining capacity display may
become inaccurate due to aging of the battery pack and other factors. The procedure
described below should be performed again.
NOTE

If the computer is turned off while recalibrating the battery (electrical power outage,
accidental removal of the AC adaptor or battery pack, etc.), the battery will not be
recalibrated correctly.
z
Battery Recalibration does not increase the battery's capacity. If Battery Recalibration
is executed frequently, deterioration of the battery may result.
