Operation time of the battery when the computer is not
in use
The battery pack will slowly discharge even when the computer is not in
use.
This maintenance time depends on the environment in which the computer
is stored, and therefore the values below serve as a guideline.
‰
The battery was fully charged when the power was turned off
Computer mode Operation time
Standby About 36 hours
Power is off, or
Hibernation mode
About 57 weeks
When the battery power is low
The following warning signals are displayed, when the battery power gets
low while the computer is in use.
‰
The battery status lamp blinks (indicating that the battery power is
getting low)
‰ An alarm (a beep) is audible
In these cases connect an AC adaptor immediately and supply the
computer with power.
A battery that has not been used for a long time discharges naturally and
you might not know it because there is neither the battery status lamp nor
the alarm to warn you. Please charge a battery that you have not used in a
long time before you start using it again.
