About the Batteries A lithium ion battery in the battery bay is standard with the computer, and provides power when an electrical outlet is not available. To double battery life, install a second battery in the modular bay. CAUTION: Do not puncture, disassemble, or incinerate the computer's battery.
The battery’s self- test capability alerts you to battery conditions such as low charge. The battery has a life span of around 400 discharge/charge cycles, provided it is charged at normal room temperature. Battery Usage The battery is partially charged when you receive it.
1 Battery 2 Battery bay latch Installing a Battery Slide the battery into the bay until the latch release clicks. Checking the Battery Charge To check the charge level, press the battery test button that is next to the lights (see Figure 2 ). The number of lights that appear shows an estimate of the remaining battery charge (see Table 1 ).
No. of Lights Lit % Charge Remaining 5 81–100 4 61–80 3 41–60 2 21–40 1 1–20 The battery charge gauge consists of five lights. Each light represents 20 percent of full charge.
replace the battery or connect your computer to an electrical outlet. After the first low - battery warning, if no input/output (I/O) activity occurs within 75 seconds, the computer activates suspend - to - disk mode. Once suspend - to - disk mode is activated, no further power is consumed.
A hot battery will not charge when you connect the AC adapter to the computer. This safety feature is important because charging a hot battery shortens the battery’s life span and may damage the battery and the computer. The battery is too hot to start charging if the battery light flashes alternately green and amber.
When your battery no longer holds a charge, call your local waste disposal agency or environmental agency for advice on disposing of it. To purchase a new battery, call Dell or access the Dell World Wide Web site at http://www.dell.com. CAUTION: If your battery is damaged, or if it no longer holds a charge, dispose of it promptly and properly.
