The Battery might show a rapid decrease in battery operating time when
you try to charge a battery pack under the following conditions:
In such cases, do the following:
1.
2.
3.
Repeat these steps two or three times until the battery pack recovers
normal capacity.
Monitoring battery pack capacity
Remaining battery power can be monitored using the following methods.
Maximizing battery operating time
The usefulness of a battery pack depends on how long it can supply power
on a single charge, while how long the charge lasts in a battery pack
depends on:
User's Manual
The battery pack is extremely hot or cold (if the battery pack is
extremely hot, it might not charge at all). To ensure the battery pack
charges to its full capacity, charge it at room temperature of between
5°C to 35°C (41–95°F).
The battery pack is nearly completely discharged. In this instance,
leave the AC adaptor connected for a few minutes and the battery
pack should begin charging.
The battery pack has not been used for a long time.
The battery pack has completely discharged and been left in the
computer for a long time.
Fully discharge the battery pack with power on until the system
automatically turns itself off.
Connect the AC adaptor to the Micro-USB port, and to a wall outlet
that is supplying power.
Charge the battery pack until the Battery indicator glows white.
Clicking the battery icon on the Windows taskbar
Via the Battery Status in the Windows Mobility Center window
Wait several seconds to monitor the remaining operating time because
the computer needs time to check the remaining capacity of the
battery pack and then calculate the remaining operating time, based
on this together with the current power consumption.
Be aware that the actual remaining operating time might differ slightly
from the calculated time.
With repeated discharges and recharges, the battery pack capacity
will gradually decrease. In view of this, it is noted that an often used,
older battery pack will not operate for as long as a new battery pack
even when both are fully charged.
