Battery pack
When the AC adaptor is not connected, the computer’s main power source
is a removable lithium ion battery pack, also referred to in this manual as
the main battery. You can purchase additional battery packs for extended
use of the computer away from an AC power source.
Before you remove the battery pack, set the computer to Hibernation mode
or save your data and shut down the computer. Do not change the battery
pack while the AC adaptor is connected.
To ensure that the battery pack maintains its maximum capacity, operate
the computer on battery power at least once a month until the battery pack
is fully discharged. Refer to
in this chapter for
procedures. If the computer is continuously operated on AC power through
an AC adaptor for an extended period, more than a month, the battery may
fail to retain a charge. It may not function efficiently over the expected life of
the battery and the Battery indicator may not indicate a low-battery
condition.

■
Always dispose of used battery packs in compliance with all applicable
laws and regulations. Put insulating tape, such as cellophane tape, on
the electrode during transportation to avoid a possible short circuit, fire
or electric shock. Failure to do so could possibly result in serious injury.

Do not remove the battery pack while the computer is in Standby mode.
Data is stored in RAM, so if the computer loses power it will be lost.
When the computer is powered off in Standby mode, and the AC
adaptor is not connected, the main battery pack and optional High
Capacity 2nd Battery Pack supply power to maintain data and program
in memory. If the battery pack(s) is completely discharged, Standby
mode does not function and the computer loses all data in memory.
Always use the High Capacity 2nd Battery Pack supplied as an accessory
or an equivalent High Capacity 2nd Battery Pack specified in the User's
Manual. Other battery packs have different voltage and terminal polarities.
Use of non-conforming battery packs could generate smoke or cause fire
or rupture, possibly resulting in serious injury.
You can purchase optional High Capacity 2nd Battery Packs from your
dealer.
