Epson LT - 286e - Manual (Page 41)

To maximize the charge time your battery supplies, completely
discharge and then recharge the battery from time to time. To
do this, follow these steps:
1. Let the battery drain all the way down.
2. When the Battery in Use icon starts to flash, save your work
in progress (if any) and exit any program you are using.
3. Leave the computer on, but do not use it. After about 10 to
20 minutes, the icons on the status indicator bar go dark,
indicating the battery is discharged.
4. Now give the battery a full, eight-hour charge.
Connecting the Battery Pack
Before you can use the LT-286e without the AC adapter, you
must install the battery pack. Follow these steps:
1. Make sure the power switch on the computer is off.
2. Turn the computer around so its back is facing you. Position
the back of the computer slightly over the edge of the desk
to make it easier to slide the battery pack into place.
3. Remove the safety cover that protects the metal connector
on the battery pack.
