Battery Packs Discharging the Battery Pack Before you begin a full discharge, disable Hibernation. To disable Hibernation: 1. Open the Power Options window: ❏ In Windows 2000, select Start > Settings > Control Panel > Power Options > Hibernate tab. ❏ In Windows XP, select Start > Control Panel > Performance and Maintenance > Power Options > Hibernate tab. 2. Clear the Enable Hibernation check box. The notebook must remain on while the battery pack is being discharged. A battery pack can discharge whether the notebook is off or in use, but it will discharge faster while the notebook is in use. ■ If you plan to leave the notebook unattended during the discharge, save your work before beginning the discharge procedure. ■ If you use the notebook occasionally during the discharge procedure and have set energy-saving timeouts, expect the following performance from your system during the discharge process: ❏ The monitor will not turn off automatically. ❏ Hard drive speed will not decrease automatically while the notebook is idle. ❏ System-initiated Standby will not occur.
