Using the battery
The system runs on battery power when it is not plugged in. The battery is located on the
back of the unit.
To maximize the performance of the battery, deplete the battery charge to less than 10%
every 30 days. To deplete the battery, use the tablet on battery power without AC power
until the battery charge is less than 10%.

in the notification area, or from the battery itself.
