User's Guide Battery Page 2-1 Chapter 2 Battery 2.1 Battery Pack Your notebook is equipped with a high energy rechargeable Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) battery pack. In general, a fully charged battery pack can support around 2.0~3.0 hours of operation, with Windows’ Power Management option enabled. However, difference in configuration (CPU, HDD, Memory etc.) and system utilization (especially I/O activities) can affect the operation time greatly. 2.2 Recharging the Battery Pack Your notebook supports both on-line and off-line recharge. Follow the procedure below to recharge battery: • Make sure the battery pack is installed in the notebook. • Connect the AC adapter to the notebook and to an electrical outlet. When a battery pack is being recharged, its battery LED (located near the Five Status LEDs) would be lit up. For details on the LEDs, please refer to Chapter 1.3. When the notebook is OFF, a depleted Li-Ion battery will take three hours to recharge.
Battery User's Guide Page 2-2 2.3 Questions and Answers Q: I can feel the heat next to the Touch Pad during recharge. Is it normal? A: The battery will generate heat during recharging and discharging. There is a protection circuit inside the notebook to prevent overheating. User needs not to worry. Q: My battery operation time is not as long as it should be. Why? A: The battery is heat sensitive and can only be charged to its maximum if the battery and its environmental temperature remain within 15-25°C (59-77°F). The more the temperature deviates from this range during recharging, the less chance there is for the battery to be fully charged. In order to recharge the pack to its full capacity, users are requested to cool down the unit by unplugging the AC Adapter. Wait until it is cooled down. Then plug in the AC Adapter to start recharging again. Q: I did not use my spare battery for a few days. Even though it was fully recharged, there wasn't as much power left as a newly charged one. Why? A: The batteries will self-discharge (1% per day for Li-Ion) when they are not being recharged. To make sure a battery pack is fully charged, recharge before use. Always keep the battery inside the notebook and have the AC adapter connected whenever possible. Q: I did not use my spare battery for months. I have problem in recharging it. A: If you happen to leave your battery pack to go through an extended period of self-discharge, say more than three months, the battery voltage level will become too low and needs to be Pre-Charged (to bring the battery voltage level high enough) before it automatically (for Li-Ion only) resumes its normal Fast Charge. Pre-Charge may take 30 minutes. Fast Charge usually takes 2~3 hours.
User's Guide Battery Page 2-3 2.4 Battery Maintenance To maintain the battery pack's maximum capacity, you should occasionally let the notebook deplete its battery power completely before recharging. To carry out a complete depletion of the battery, disconnect the AC adapter and let your notebook consume the remaining battery power. To speed up the depletion, use the HDD as much as possible, and the LCD should be set as bright as possible. When the battery is empty, wait for the notebook to cool down (especially the battery). The temperature should be within 15-25°C (59-77°F). Then insert the AC adapter to recharge the battery. 2.5 Power Consumption The Windows® XP, the latest Windows operating systems, has incorporated the latest state-of-the-art ACPI (Advanced Configuration Power Interface) power management methodology. In order to fully utilize the power of your battery pack, it would be a good idea for you to spend sometime to acquire a basic understanding of the power management concept from your operating system. In Windows® Operating Systems, you can go through Power Options of the Control Panel according to the version of Windows® Operating System the notebook applies. We shall not describe them in details. The Power Options in Windows® XP are further divided into as below: • Power Schemes • Alarms • Power Meter • Advanced • Hibernate
Battery User's Guide Page 2-4 2.6 Reducing Power Consumption Although your notebook (together with the operating system) is capable of power conservation, there are measures you can take to reduce the power consumption: • Use the AC power whenever possible. • Lower the intensity of the LCD backlight. A very bright screen translates to higher power usage. • Try to use the HDD or the PCMCIA drive to read and write files, instead of using the external USB FDD. Note: The battery pack should be locked in the battery compartment all the time.
