Monitoring the Battery Charge
Battery life is affected by factors such as the power-management
settings in System Setup, the applications you use, and the
brightness and contrast settings of the LCD. Under normal
usage, the battery charge lasts approximately 2 hours.
Battery life estimates are subject to variation.
The actual life of your battery may be less than
the estimates given in the documentation.
You can monitor the charge of the battery pack installed in your
computer through the battery gauge.
