Battery Packs
Charging a Battery Pack
Any battery pack in the system charges whenever the computer is
connected to external power.
The computer supports up to 2 battery packs.
The
primary
battery pack is a 6-cell lithium-ion polymer
battery pack that can be used only in the battery bay.
An optional
external
battery pack is a 4-cell lithium-ion
polymer battery pack that can be used only by attaching it to
the rear of the computer.
When both battery packs are in the system, the primary battery
pack is the first to charge, and the external battery pack is the first
to discharge.
Using a New Battery Pack
A new battery pack should be fully charged before it is used for
the first time.
Although you can use a new battery pack that has been fully
charged to run the computer, battery charge displays may not
accurately report the amount of charge in the battery pack until
the battery pack has been calibrated. For calibration instructions,
refer on this CD to the
Utilities
guide,
Power Management
section,
Calibrating a Battery Pack.
