Using battery power
The tablet runs on battery power whenever it is not plugged into external AC power. Tablet battery life
varies, depending on power management settings, running programs, display brightness, external devices
connected to the tablet, and other factors. When the tablet is plugged into AC power, the battery is charged
and your work is protected in case of a power outage. If the battery is charged and the tablet is running on
external AC power, the tablet automatically switches to battery power if the AC adapter is disconnected on
the tablet or an AC power loss occurs.
NOTE: When you disconnect AC power, the display brightness is automatically decreased to save battery
life. For more information, see Using external AC power on page 28.
Factory-sealed battery
Battery Check notifies you to replace the battery when an internal cell is not charging properly or when the
battery storage capacity has reached a weak condition. If Battery Check indicates that your battery should be
replaced, contact support.
