• The AC power indicator with the battery status in- dicator means the battery is defective. • An indicator with one bar on the left means a battery is too hot. Allow the battery to cool to room temperature. • The AC power indicator with the battery status in- dicator and one bar means that the battery is too hot (60° C [140° F] or more) to start charging. Charging starts automatically when the battery cools to below 45° C. • An indicator with no bars means that battery power is low (about 90 percent depleted). This is the first lowbattery indication and the computer warns the user with three short, audible beeps. There are about 10 minutes of battery life remaining. • A blinking indicator with no bars means that battery power is critically low (about 95 percent depleted) and needs recharging. There are about 5 minutes of battery life remaining. • An indicator with bars on the right side of the icon indicates the percentage of battery life remaining. Each bar equals 10 percent of battery life. Battery Charge Gauge CAUTION: If only one or none of the charge-level indicator lights are lit, the battery is almost completely discharged. Do not use the battery unless the computer is connected to AC power or unless you install a second charged battery. There is a battery charge gauge on the main and secondary battery. The charge gauge has four charge-level indicator lights that indicate how much battery charge remains. Each light indicates approximately 25 percent battery charge. Press the status button to the right of the lights to check the total battery charge. If none of the lights are on, the battery has no charge left. 1-6 Dell Inspiron 3000 Series Service Manual
