Battery Performance

NOTE: For information about the Dell warranty for your computer, see the Product

Information Guide or separate paper warranty document that shipped with your

computer.

For optimal computer performance and to help preserve BIOS settings,

operate your Dell™ portable computer with the main battery installed at all

times. One battery is supplied as standard equipment in the battery bay.

NOTE: Because the battery may not be fully charged, use the AC adapter to

connect your new computer to an electrical outlet the first time you use the

computer. For best results, operate the computer with the AC adapter until the

battery is fully charged. To view battery charge status, check the Power Meter in

Power Options. See

"Accessing Power Options Properties" on page 18.

NOTE: Battery operating time (the time the battery can hold a charge) decreases

over time. Depending on how often the battery is used and the conditions under

which it is used, you may need to purchase a new battery during the life of your

computer.

Battery operating time varies depending on operating conditions. You can

install an optional second battery in the media bay to significantly increase

operating time.

Operating time is significantly reduced when you perform operations

including, but not limited to, the following:

•Using optical drives

Using wireless communications devices, PC Cards, ExpressCards, media

memory cards, or USB devices

Using high-brightness display settings, 3D screen savers, or other power-

intensive programs such as 3D

games

Running the computer in maximum performance mode. See "Configuring

Power Management Settings" on page 17 for information about accessing

Windows Power Options Properties or Dell QuickSet, which you can use

to configure power management settings

NOTE: It is recommended that you connect your computer to an electrical outlet

when writing to a CD or DVD.

You can check the battery charge before you insert the battery into the

computer (see "Checking the Battery Charge" on page 16). You can also set

power management options to alert you when the battery charge is low (see

"Configuring Power Management Settings" on page 17

).

CAUTION: Using an incompatible battery may increase the risk of fire or

explosion. Replace the battery only with a compatible battery purchased from

Dell. The lithium ion battery is designed to work with your Dell computer. Do not

use a battery from other computers with your computer.

Quick Reference Guide 15

CAUTION: Do not dispose of batteries with household waste. When your battery

no longer holds a charge, call your local waste disposal or environmental agency

for advice on disposing of a lithium-ion battery. See "Battery Disposal" in the

Product Information Guide

.

CAUTION: Misuse of the battery may increase the risk of fire or chemical burn.

Do not puncture, incinerate, disassemble, or expose the battery to temperatures

above 65°C (149°F). Keep the battery away from children. Handle damaged or

leaking batteries with extreme care. Damaged batteries may leak and cause

personal injury or equipment damage.

Checking the Battery Charge

The Dell QuickSet Battery Meter, the Microsoft Windows Power Meter

window and icon, the battery charge gauge and health gauge, and the

low-battery warning provide information on the battery charge.

Dell™ QuickSet Battery Meter

If Dell QuickSet is installed, press <Fn><F3> to display the QuickSet

Battery Meter. The Battery Meter displays status, battery health, charge level,

and charge completion time for the battery in your computer.

For more information about QuickSet, click the QuickSet icon in the

®

®

Microsoft

Windows

taskbar, and click Help.

®

®

Microsoft

Windows

Power Meter

The Windows Power Meter indicates the remaining battery charge. To check

the Power Meter, double-click the icon on the taskbar.

If the computer is connected to an electrical outlet, a icon appears.

Charge Gauge

By either pressing once or pressing and holding the status button on the

charge gauge on the battery, you can check:

Battery charge (check by pressing and

releasing

the status button)

Battery health (check by pressing and

holding

the status button)

The battery operating time is largely determined by the number of times it is

charged. After hundreds of charge and discharge cycles, batteries lose some

charge capacity—or battery health. That is, a battery can show a status of

"charged" but maintain a reduced charge capacity (health).

16 Quick Reference Guide

Check the Battery Charge

To check the battery charge, press and release the status button on the battery

charge gauge to illuminate the charge-level lights. Each light represents

approximately 20 percent of the total battery charge. For example, if the

battery has 80 percent of its charge remaining, four of the lights are on. If no

lights appear, the battery has no charge.

Check the Battery Health

NOTE: You can check battery health in one of two ways: by using the charge gauge on

the battery as described below and by using the Battery Meter in Dell QuickSet. For

®

®

information about QuickSet, right-click the QuickSet icon in the Microsoft

Windows

taskbar, and click Help.

To check the battery health using the charge gauge, press and hold the status

button on the battery charge gauge for at least 3 seconds. If no lights appear,

the battery is in good condition, and more than 80 percent of its original

charge capacity remains. Each light represents incremental degradation. If

five lights appear, less than 60 percent of the charge capacity remains, and you

should consider replacing the battery. See "Specifications" in your online

User’s Guide for more information about the battery operating time.

Low-Battery Warning

NOTICE: To avoid losing or corrupting data, save your work immediately after

a low-battery warning. Then connect the computer to an electrical outlet. If the

battery runs completely out of power, hibernate mode begins automatically.

A pop-up window warns you when the battery charge is approximately

90 percent depleted.

You can change the settings for the battery alarms in QuickSet or the Power

Options Properties window. See "Configuring Power Management Settings"

on page 17 for information about accessing QuickSet or the Power Options

Properties window.

Configuring Power Management Settings

You can use the QuickSet Power Management Wizard or Windows Power

Options Properties to configure the power management settings on your

computer. For more information about QuickSet, right-click the QuickSet

icon in the taskbar and click Help.

Quick Reference Guide 17

Accessing Power Options Properties

Windows XP

Click the Start button, point to Control Panel Performance and Maintenance,

and then click Power Options

Windows Vista

Click the Windows Vista Start button , click Control Panel, click System

and Maintenance, and then click Power Options.

Charging the Battery

When you connect the computer to an electrical outlet or install a battery

while the computer is connected to an electrical outlet, the computer checks

the battery charge and temperature. If necessary, the AC adapter then charges

the battery and maintains the battery charge.

NOTE: With Dell™ ExpressCharge™, when the computer is turned off, the AC

adapter charges a completely discharged battery to 80 percent in about 1 hour and

to 100 percent in approximately 2 hours. Charge time is longer with the computer

turned on. You can leave the battery in the computer for as long as you like. The

battery’s internal circuitry prevents the battery from overcharging.

If the battery is hot from being used in your computer or being in a hot

environment, the battery may not charge when you connect the computer to

an electrical outlet.

The battery is too hot to start charging if the light flashes alternately

green and orange. Disconnect the computer from the electrical outlet and

allow the computer and the battery to cool to room temperature. Then

connect the computer to an electrical outlet to continue charging the battery.

For more information about resolving problems with a battery, see "Power

Problems" in your online User’s Guide.

Replacing the Battery

CAUTION: Using an incompatible battery may increase the risk of fire or

explosion. Replace the battery only with a compatible battery purchased from

Dell. The battery is designed to work with your Dell™ computer. Do not use

a battery from other computers with your computer.

18 Quick Reference Guide

CAUTION: Before performing these procedures, turn off the computer, disconnect

the AC adapter from the electrical outlet and the computer, disconnect the modem

from the wall connector and computer, and remove any other external cables from

the computer.

NOTICE: You must remove all external cables from the computer to avoid possible

connector damage.

To remove the battery:

1

If the computer is connected to a docking device (docked), undock it. See

the documentation that came with your docking device for instructions.

2

Ensure that the computer is turned off.
