Battery Life
Battery life may be shortened through improper maintenance. To optimize the life
and improve its performance, fully discharge and recharge the battery at least
once every 30 days.
We should not remove the built-in battery yourself (see sidebar).
New Battery
Always completely discharge, then fully charge, a new battery (see “Battery FAQ”
on page 3 - 22 for instructions on how to do this).
Recharging the Battery with the AC/DC Adapter
The battery pack automatically recharges when the AC/DC adapter is attached and
plugged into an electrical outlet. If the computer is powered on, and in use, it will
take several hours to fully recharge the battery. When the computer is turned off but
plugged into an electrical outlet, battery charge time is less. Refer to “Top Case” on
page 1 - 7 for information on the battery charge status, and to “Battery FAQ” on
page 3 - 22 for more information on how to maintain and properly recharge the bat-
tery pack.
Battery Removal
Note that the built-in
battery is not user re-
movable. Removing the
battery will violate the
terms of your warranty.
If you need to remove
the battery for any rea-
son, please contact your
distributor/supplier for
further information.
