Battery life If the computer is in use, typical battery life can last up to 3 to 3.5 hours, depending on your level of use and your power management settings (see page 1-14). Optimum Charging To get the longest battery operating time, continue charging until the OmniBook battery is fully charged, indicated by the following: • Charging light on the front of the computer stops blinking. • Status panel battery indicator (up or down triangle) stops blinking. Because of rounding, a battery indicator can show a full battery before it's fully charged. The indicators stop blinking only when the battery is actually full. You can continue working while the battery is charging. 3-6
