Battery is fully charged

Battery is starting to drain

Battery is about to completely

drain, and you should stop using your

computer and charge it at once.

Battery is being charged.

A battery is an expendable supply, so when using it over a long time, the

capacity/battery life is shortened. If the battery life is reduced to under

half of its initial time, we recommend purchasing a new battery.

When not using the battery for a long time, store the battery after

charging it to 30-40% of its capacity. This extends the battery life time.
