Recharging the Batteries
If you want to know the condition of the Lithium ion battery, check the Battery Level indicator located on the Status
Indicator panel. The indicator changes as the battery level changes.
The Lithium ion battery is recharged internally using the AC adapter or Auto/Airline adapter. To recharge the battery
make sure the battery that needs to be charged is installed in your notebook and connect the AC or Auto/Airline
adapter.
There is no memory effect on the Lithium ion battery therefore you do not need to discharge the battery completely
before recharging. The charge times will be significantly longer if your notebook is in use while the battery is
charging. If you want to charge the battery more quickly, put your notebook into Sleep mode, or turn it off while the
adapter is charging the battery. (See Power Management on page 51 for more information on Sleep mode and shutdown
procedure)
• BATTERY LIFE WILL VARY BASED ON SCREEN BRIGHTNESS, APPLICATIONS, FEATURES, POWER MANAGEMENT SETTINGS, BATTERY CONDITION AND
OTHER CUSTOMER PREFERENCES. OPTICAL DRIVE OR HARD DRIVE USAGE MAY ALSO HAVE A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON BATTERY LIFE. THE BATTERY
CHARGING CAPACITY IS REDUCED AS THE BATTERY AGES. IF YOUR BATTERY IS RUNNING LOW QUICKLY, YOU SHOULD REPLACE IT WITH A NEW ONE.
• UNDER FEDERAL, STATE, OR LOCAL LAW IT MAY BE ILLEGAL TO DISPOSE OF BATTERIES BY PUTTING THEM IN THE TRASH. TAKE CARE OF OUR
ENVIRONMENT AND DISPOSE OF BATTERIES PROPERLY. CHECK WITH YOUR LOCAL GOVERNMENT AUTHORITY FOR DETAILS ON RECYCLING OR DISPOSING
