What other pages do I need to look at? ================= What does the battery indicator-light color mean? - green means the laptop is plugged in and the battery is fully charged; - yellow/orange means the laptop is plugged in and the battery is charging; - A pattern of 4 yellow/orange flashes followed by no light means that the battery is trickle charging. Trickle charging means your battery was very, low. Normal charging will start when trickle is over. - no light when the laptop is powered on means it is running on battery power; - no light when the laptop is powered off means the battery is not recharging; - red means the battery is low; it should be recharged. - red/yellow alternating means that the laptop battery has reached the critical level and can shut off any instant. - flashing red mean battery error. =============== How long should a fully charged battery last? With standard operation, the battery should last approximately 3–5 hours. ( This is more like 2.5 - 3 hours) Certain applications, such as video, may reduce overall battery performance. Turning the backlight off saves battery power. (Future software releases are expected to improve battery life.) -- Richard A.
