Using a Battery

Battery Performance

CAUTION: Before you begin any of the procedures in this section, follow the safety instructions

located in the Product Information Guide.

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. Use a battery to run the computer

when it is not connected to an electrical outlet. One battery is supplied as standard equipment in

the battery bay. Battery operating time varies depending on operating conditions. You can install an

optional second battery in the module bay to significantly increase operating time. For more

information about the second battery, see your

User’s Guide

.

NOTE: Battery operating time (the time it 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.
