Battery
To remove the battery, slide and hold the latch,
and pull the battery out of the bay.
Your computer uses a high-performance
desktop processor, which requires more power
than mobile processors. Therefore, less power
may be available to simultaneously charge the
battery while running processor-intensive
programs like 3D screen savers, 3D games, or
engineering applications. If you are running
processor-intensive programs and your battery
is not charging, try using the Low Power Mode
option. To reduce charge time, the battery can
be charged while the computer is turned off.
See your Owner's Manual for additional
information.
