English 29 By following the battery conditioning process you condition your battery to accept the maximum possible charge. Failure to follow this procedure will prevent you from obtaining the maximum battery charge, and will also shorten the effective lifespan of the battery. In addition, the useful lifespan of the battery is adversely affected by the following usage patterns: • Using the computer on constant AC power with the battery inserted. If you want to use constant AC power, you are advised to remove the battery pack after it is fully charged. • Not discharging and recharging the battery to its extremes, as described above. • Frequent use; the more you use the battery, the faster it will reach the end of its effective life. A standard computer battery has a life span of about 300 charges. Charging the battery To charge the battery, first make sure that it is correctly installed in the battery bay. Plug the AC adapter into the computer, and connect to a mains power outlet. You can continue to operate your computer on AC power while your battery is charging. However, charging the battery with the computer turned off results in a significantly faster charge time. Note: You are advised to charge the battery before retiring for the day. Charging the battery overnight before traveling enables you to start the next day with a fully charged battery. Optimizing battery life Optimizing battery life helps you get the most out of battery operation, prolonging the charge/recharge cycle and improving recharging efficiency. You are advised to follow the suggestions set out below: • Purchase an extra battery pack. • Use AC power whenever possible, reserving battery for on-the-go use. • Eject a PC Card if it is not being used, as it will continue to draw power (for selected models). • Store the battery pack in a cool, dry place. The recommended temperature is 10° C (50° F) to 30° C (86° F). Higher temperatures cause the battery to self-discharge faster. • Excessive recharging decreases the battery life. • Look after your AC adapter and battery.

English

By following the battery conditioning process you condition your battery to

accept the maximum possible charge. Failure to follow this procedure will

prevent you from obtaining the maximum battery charge, and will also shorten

the effective lifespan of the battery.

In addition, the useful lifespan of the battery is adversely affected by the

following usage patterns:

•

Using the computer on constant AC power with the battery inserted. If you

want to use constant AC power, you are advised to remove the battery

pack after it is fully charged.

•

Not discharging and recharging the battery to its extremes, as described

above.

•

Frequent use; the more you use the battery, the faster it will reach the end

of its effective life. A standard computer battery has a life span of about

300 charges.

Charging the battery

To charge the battery, first make sure that it is correctly installed in the battery

bay. Plug the AC adapter into the computer, and connect to a mains power

outlet. You can continue to operate your computer on AC power while your

battery is charging. However, charging the battery with the computer turned

off results in a significantly faster charge time.

Note

: You are advised to charge the battery before retiring for

the day. Charging the battery overnight before traveling enables

you to start the next day with a fully charged battery.

Optimizing battery life

Optimizing battery life helps you get the most out of battery operation,

prolonging the charge/recharge cycle and improving recharging efficiency. You

are advised to follow the suggestions set out below:

•

Purchase an extra battery pack.

•

Use AC power whenever possible, reserving battery for on-the-go use.

•

Eject a PC Card if it is not being used, as it will continue to draw power (for

selected models).

•

Store the battery pack in a cool, dry place. The recommended temperature

is 10° C (50° F) to 30° C (86° F). Higher temperatures cause the battery to

self-discharge faster.

•

Excessive recharging decreases the battery life.

•

Look after your AC adapter and battery.
