Operating on Battery Power
36
You only need to do this once with a new battery or with a
battery that's been stored without being used for a long time. If
the computer is to be stored for more than two weeks, we
suggest you remove the battery pack. Battery power from a fully
charged battery pack depletes in roughly a day with the
computer in Standby mode, or a month in Hibernation mode or
when the power is off.
Warning! Do not expose battery packs to temperatures below 0ºC (32ºF) or
above 60ºC (140ºF). This may adversely affect the battery pack.
Replacing the Battery Pack
Note: Before removing the battery pack, make sure that you have an AC
adapter connected to the computer; otherwise, turn off the computer.
To replace the battery pack, follow these steps:
1. Slide and hold the battery bay release latch and slide the
battery out slightly.
