Battery types

The computer has three types of batteries:

Battery pack

Slice Expansion Battery (optional)

Real Time Clock (RTC) battery

Battery pack

When the AC adaptor is not connected, the computer’s main power source

is a removable lithium ion battery pack, also referred to in this manual as

the main battery. You can purchase additional battery packs for extended

use of the computer away from an AC power source.
Do not change the battery pack while the AC adaptor is connected.
Before you remove the battery pack, save your data and shut down the

computer, or set the computer to Hibernation Mode. While entering

Hibernation Mode, the computer saves the contents of memory to the hard

disk drive. However, for safety sake, it is best to save your data manually.
