Getting Started

Monitoring main battery power

(Sample Illustration) Power and battery light locations

With repeated discharges and recharges, the battery’s capacity 
gradually decreases. A frequently used older battery does not 
power the computer for as long as a new battery, even when 
both are fully charged.

TECHNICAL NOTE: The computer drains the battery faster at low 
temperatures. Check your remaining charge frequently if you are 
working in temperatures below 50 degrees Fahrenheit.

The computer calculates the remaining battery charge based on your 
current rate of power use and other factors such as the age of the 
battery.
