Measuring the Remaining Battery Charge
You can view the battery charge status by completing the 
following procedures.
Confirming the battery charge in the Taskbar
Disconnect the AC adapter and move the mouse cursor over 
the battery icon in the system tray of the Taskbar to confirm the 
remaining battery charge.
Battery Usage Time Information
A battery is an expendable supply, so when using it over a long 
time, the capacity/battery life is shortened. If the battery life is 
reduced to under half of its initial time, we recommend purchasing 
a new battery.
When not using the battery for a long time, store the battery after 
charging it to 30-40% of its capacity. This extends the battery life 
time.
