BATTERIES The main Lithium ion battery and the optional second Lithium ion battery are rechargeable batteries with an operating time of up to 1 hour each, depending on active power management features and user activity levels. Your notebook can be operated on either the main Lithium ion battery or the optional second Lithium ion battery alone. You can warm swap batteries by putting your notebook in Suspend mode. There will be no loss of data if you do this quickly since there is a built-in NiCd bridge battery which will keep the system alive long enough to swap in 25 Section Two another charged battery. The bridge battery can support the system for about 3 minutes. The battery operating time may become shorter than the reference value if it is used under the following conditions: s CAUTION Actual battery life will vary based on screen brightness, applications, features, power management settings, battery condition, and other customer preferences. CD-ROM drive or hard drive usage may also have a significant impact on battery life. CAUTION Do not leave a faulty battery in your notebook. It might damage your AC adapter, optional auto/airline adapter, another battery, or your notebook itself. It may also prevent operation of your notebook by draining all available current into the bad battery. Bridge Battery The bridge battery is a NiCd battery that is built-in your notebook and is constantly being recharged. A bridge battery allows a charged main Lithium ion battery to be exchanged for a discharged one by "warm-swapping". To warmswap have a charged battery ready, put your notebook in Suspend mode, remove the low battery and quickly insert a charged battery. The NiCd bridge battery is built-in your notebook and is constantly being charged. The bridge battery capacity is not large ,a bo ut 3 minutes, and can vary with the condition of your notebook. When used at temperatures that exceed a low of 5°C or a high of 35°C. High temperatures not only reduce charging efficiency, but can also cause battery deterioration. (The charging icon on the Status Indicator Panel will flash when you try to charge a battery that is outside its operating temperature range.) The battery charging capacity is reduced as the battery ages. If your battery is running low quickly, you should replace it with a new one. When using a high current device such as a modem,a LAN card, the CD-ROM drive, or the hard drive frequently. CAUTION Under federal, state or local law it may be illegal to dispose of batteries by put-ting them in the trash. Please take care of our environment and dispose of batteries properly. Check with your local government authority for details regarding recycling or disposing of old batteries. If you cannot find this information elsewhere, contact your support representative at 1-800-8FUJITSU (1-800-838-5487). s s Using the AC adapter will conserve your battery when using a high current device such as a modem, a LAN card,the CD-ROM drive, or the hard drive frequently. 26 LifeBookTM 50 0 Series from Fuj itsu TM Using Your LifeBook 500 Series CAUTION Data may be lost and/or system errors introduced if the warm swap is not performed quickly or a power adapter installed. CAUTION The bridge battery can not support an operating notebook. The notebook must be in Suspend mode. Shorted Batteries If your Status Indicator shows a shorted battery, check the installation for that battery by removing and reinstalling it. If it still shows that it is shorted, replace it with a new battery. CAUTION A shorted battery is damaged and must be replaced so that it does not damage anything else. Recharging the Batteries If you want to check the condition of either the main Lithium ion battery or the optional second Lithium ion battery, check the Battery Level indicators located on the Status Indicator Panel. These indicators change as the battery levels change. Battery 1 is the main Lithium ion battery and Battery 2 is the optional second Lithium ion battery. (Figure 2-3 on page 19.)You can also check the PowerPanel toolbar. Both batteries are recharged internally using the AC adapter or auto/airline adapter. To recharge the batteries: s Make sure the battery to be charged is installed in your notebook and connect the AC adapter or auto/airline adapter. s During charging, an Arrow icon is displayed just to the left of the Battery Level icon on the Status Indicator. s The percentage charge is shown inside the Battery Level icon. (Figure 2-4 on page 20.) When an optional second Lithium ion battery is installed, the charge/discharge rate of the main and optional second Lithium ion batteries are the same, as they are connected in parallel, and are both charging and/or discharging at the same time. Since the rates are the same, one may finish charging or discharging before the other, if they were not at the same charge level when they were installed,and/or the AC or auto/airline adapter was connected. There is no memory effect on the Lithium ion batteries, which means that you do not need to discharge them completely before recharging. The charging time from fully discharged, for the main Lithium ion battery and the optional second Lithium ion battery together, is approximately 5 hours when your notebook is Off or in Suspend mode .O f course partially charged batteries will not take as long to charge. The main Lithium ion battery or the optional Second Lithium ion battery alone will charge in approximately 3 hours when your notebook is Off or in Suspend mode. The charge times will be significantly longer if your notebook is in use while the batteries are charging (from approximately 9 hours for one battery to approximately 15 hours for two batteries with normal operating levels). 27 Section Two CAUTION Using heavy current devices such as LAN cards or frequent CD-ROM accesses may prevent charging completely. CAUTION You may not be able to hear the audio alarms if the volume control is set too low or is turned off by either hardware or software but you will still be able to see the Battery Level indicator(s) flash. When the low battery alarm occurs you need to save all your active data and put your notebook into Suspend mode until you can provide a new power source. You should provide this power as soon as possible. The new power source can be a charged battery or a power adapter, either AC or auto. CAUTION When you are in Suspend mode there must always be at least one power source active. If you turn off the power with the power switch, or remove all power sources, main battery, optional second battery, AC adapter or auto adapter, while your notebook is in Suspend mode any data which has not been saved to disk will be lost. Once your notebook goes into Dead Battery Suspend mode you will be unable to resume operation until you provide a source of power either from an AC adapter, an optional auto adapter, or a charged battery. Dead Battery Suspend mode shows on the Status Indicator just like the normal Suspend mode .O n ce you have provided power, you will need to press the Suspend/Resume button to resume operation. In the Suspend mode, your data can be maintained for sometime. If a power source is not provided promptly, the Power indicator will stop
