Power and Your Computer
Main Battery Pack
Regardless of which type of main battery you have, NiMH or LiIon, both are considered
Smart Batteries. A Smart Battery can tell you how much approximate charge remains in the battery without the assistance of external hardware or software. There are 5
LEDs on the outer casing of the battery module that indicate how much battery run time is remaining.
Locate the word “Push” on the battery’s casing and press the colored circle below it. If all five LEDs light, the battery is charged to full capacity. Each LED represents approximately 20% battery charge. There is 80% battery life remaining if four LEDs are lit. If no LEDs are lit, the battery is drained and needs to be charged.
1. Push this button.
2. The corresponding LED lights, indicating the battery charge.
