Battery The Evo Notebook N180 8-cell Lithium-Ion battery provides up to four hours of battery life; up to six hours
achieved using optional additional Modular Bay battery.
NOTE: Actual results may vary with product model, configuration, and individual usage. Compaq results of 4:05
(hr:min) were achieved running the eTesting Labs Inc.'s BatteryMarkTest version 4.0.1 on an N180
with an Intel Pentium III-M 1 GHz CPU, 15-inch XGA panel, 128-MB RAM, 20-GB HDD, CD, 8-cell
Lithium-Ion battery, and NIC/modem. System parameters were set according to eTesting Labs’
recommendations: panel brightness 50%, hard drive standby and video idle time three minutes, Intel
SpeedStep battery optimized mode.
