Monitoring Battery Power
Charging time
Charging the battery takes about 2 hours to fully charge.
Battery life
If the computer is in use, typical battery life can last up to 3 to 3.5 hours, depending
on your level of use and your power management settings (see page 1-14).
Optimum Charging
To get the longest battery operating time, continue charging until the OmniBook
battery is fully charged, indicated by the following:
• Charging light on the front of the computer stops blinking.
• Status panel battery indicator (up or down triangle) stops blinking.
Because of rounding, a battery indicator can show a full battery before it's fully
charged. The indicators stop blinking only when the battery is actually full.
You can continue working while the battery is charging.
