• The battery will be fully charged within 2-4 hours(depending on the capacity
of the battery). When nished charging, the charge indicator will turn on
steadily in green.
• It’s recommended not to recharge intermittently, which means not plugging
and unplugging the power adapter frequently in short period of time.
• It’s recommended to turn off the computer before charging.
• Do not use the power adapter that is not made for your computer. Supplying
the computer with inappropriate voltage may cause harm to the battery or,
even worse, may burn the computer.
How to use:
• The lithium-ion battery is currently one of the most popular battery packs
right now. The biggest advantage is that it has no memory effect that users
needn’t worry about. Users can charge the battery anytime whether the
batteryisfullydrainedornot.However,it’srecommendedthatusersdrainthe
battery until the system shows power shortage warning and then recharge
the battery. Doing so is helpful to the reliability of using the battery.
How to store:
• When storing for a long period of time, keep the battery approximately at
the charging state of 60 ~ 80% and regularly use it. The battery should be
completely discharged and recharged once each month to condition the
cells inside the battery to ensure the battery delivers the most available
capacity.
