There may be a discrepancy between the % value that is displayed on the taskbar

About High Temperature Mode
This computer has a high temperature mode function that prevents the deterioration of the
battery in high-temperature environments or when using the fully charged battery pack for a
long period of time.
To use the high temperature mode function, set [Environment] in the [Main] menu of the
Setup Utility to [Auto]
or [High Temperature]. In [Auto] mode, high temperature mode or nor-
mal temperature mode is selected automatically depending on the battery status (the internal
temperature of the battery pack, etc.) or usage condition (when the AC adaptor has been
connected for a long period of time).
Note that a level corresponding to a 100% charge for high temperature mode is
approximately equivalent to an 80% charge level for normal temperature mode.

NOTE

After switching from [Normal Temperature] to [High Temperature] or vice versa, the
remaining battery capacity will not be displayed properly until the battery pack is
completely discharged or fully charged.

In the [Auto] mode:
Once the computer has automatically switched from the normal temperature mode to
the high temperature mode, the computer will not switch back to the normal tempera-
ture mode until the battery has been used and recharged to a total charge level of
about five times as much as that of the fully-charged state. This is to prevent the
deterioration of the battery.
