PACK
The computer uses an embedded battery pack that gives you long use
between charges.
Battery pack characteristics
The battery pack has the following characteristics:
• Employs current battery technology standards.
• Delivers a battery-low warning.
The battery is recharged whenever you connect the computer to the AC
adapter. Your computer supports charge-in-use, enabling you to recharge
the battery while you continue to operate the computer. However,
recharging with the computer turned off results in a significantly faster
charge time.
Charging the battery
The preferred method of charging your computer is to use the bundled
cradle. Plug the AC adapter into the cradle and connect to a power outlet.
Insert the tablet into the cradle (see "Connect the tablet to the cradle"
on page 25). You can continue to operate your computer on AC power
while your battery is charging. However, charging the battery with the
computer turned off results in a significantly faster charge time.
