![Working with the workstation Battery30 A26391-K115-Z120-2-7619BatteryThe battery is one of the most important components of your workstation. When not plugged into amains outlet, the workstation runs on its built-in battery. You can increase the life of the battery bycaring for the battery properly. The average battery life is around 500 charge/discharge cycles.You can extend the battery life by taking advantage of the available energy saving functions.!Only use batteries released for your workstation.Take care not to drop the batteries or otherwise damage their casing (fire risk).If the rechargeable batteries are defective, they must not be used.Do not touch the contacts of the batteries.Never interconnect the positive and negative terminals of a battery.Used batteries must be disposed of in accordance with local regulations (special waste).Observe the information on battery storage in the chapter "Important notes".Performing the battery learning cycleThe battery contains electronics that continuously monitor the battery charging level and display thecurrent charging level. To compensate for measuring errors in the electronics, and because thechemical properties of the battery change over time, the electronics must be recalibrated regularly.This calibration is carried out using a battery learning cycle. Using the battery learning cycle ensuresthat the maximum battery capacity can always be used. During the learning cycle a defined chargingcycle is carried out.iThe battery learning cycle lasts between four and six hours and must not be aborted.During this period you can not work with the workstation!Ê Restart the workstation (switching On/Off or warm boot).The following display briefly appears on the screen during start-up:<ESC> Diagnostic screen <F12> Boot Menu <F2> BIOS Setup <F6> BatterylearningÊ Press function key [F6].The learning cycle is started. When the learning cycle is ended, a corresponding message isdisplayed.](https://usermanual.wiki/Quanta-Computer/WF2H.Users-Manual-Revised-042202/User-Guide-238375-Page-43.png)
