116 Power Management Running the computer on battery power Running the computer on battery power The computer contains a removable lithium ion (Li-ion) battery pack that provides power when you are away from an AC outlet. This is the main battery. You can recharge it many times. In addition to the main battery, you may also have a second battery installed in the Slim SelectBay. If you travel and need to work for many hours without an AC power source, you may purchase a battery module for use in the computer's Slim SelectBay, or carry additional charged battery packs with you. The computer also has an internal real-time-clock (RTC) battery. The RTC battery powers the RTC memory that stores your system configuration settings and the current time and date information. It maintains this information for up to a month while the computer is turned off. TECHNICAL NOTE: For optimum DVD performance, always play DVDs while your computer is connected to AC power.
