Chapter 2. Using Your Computer

Charging the Battery

When you check the battery status and find that the battery is low, you

need to charge the battery or replace it with a charged battery.
If an AC outlet is convenient, first, connect the power cord to the

transformer pack; second, plug the power cord into an electrical outlet; and

then connect the AC adapter to the power jack of the computer.
The charging time is affected by the physical environment.

Note:

To increase the life of the battery, the computer does not start recharging

the battery if the remaining power is no less than 95 percent.

Handling the Battery

Danger:

Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the battery pack.
Attempting to do so can cause an explosion, or liquid leakage from the

battery pack.
A battery pack other than the one specified by Lenovo, or a disassembled

or modified battery pack is not covered by the warranty.

Danger:

If the rechargeable battery pack is incorrectly replaced, there is danger of

an explosion. The battery pack contains a small amount of harmful

substances. To avoid possible injury:

Replace only with a battery of the type recommended by Lenovo.
