Learning About Batteries
The computer accommodates one rechargeable battery pack.
With the computer turned off, the battery pack will recharge in
less than two hours. With the computer turned on, the battery pack
will recharge in less than five hours.
To avoid loss of data, save data, then either turn off the computer
or initiate Hibernation or Suspend before removing the battery.
!
WARNING: Your computer contains a lithium Ion battery pack.
There is a risk of fire and burns if the battery pack is not handled
properly. Do not disassemble, crush, puncture, short external
contacts, or dispose of in fire or water. Do not expose to
temperatures higher than 60qC. Replace only with the Compaq
spare designated for this product.
!
WARNING: Batteries/battery packs and accumulators should not be
disposed of with general household waste. In order to forward them
to recycling or proper disposal, please use the public collection
system or return them to Compaq, your authorized Compaq
Partners, or other agents.
Using a New Battery Pack
IMPORTANT: A new battery pack should be fully charged before it
is used for the first time. The battery pack will work partially
charged, but the battery gauge will not show an accurate charge
until the battery pack receives its first full charge.
