CAUTION:

When the computer is operating, it should be placed on a hard and flat surface with its bottom area not in contact with user’s bare skin. Under normal operating conditions, the temperature of the bottom surface will remain within an acceptable range as defined in IEC 62368-1, but such temperatures can still be high enough to cause discomfort or harm to the user if directly touched for over 10s at a time. As such, it is recommended that users avoid prolonged direct contact with the bottom of the computer.

You can switch the battery’s active charging mode in Lenovo Vantage or Lenovo PC Manager. To maximize the life of the battery, once the battery is fully charged, it must discharge to 94% or lower before it will be allowed to recharge again.

• Normal mode: The most basic charging mode. It typically takes 2 to 4 hours for the battery to charge from 0% to 100%.

• Rapid charge mode: To charge the battery faster than in normal mode. The table below lists the typical time needed for batteries in rapid charge mode to be charged.

• Conservation mode: If your computer is constantly plugged into an electrical outlet, consider switching to conservation mode. In this mode, the battery will not be fully charged. Instead, the battery’s charge will be kept within 75%–80%, which is beneficial to the long-term health of the battery.

• Overnight charge optimization: If you have a regular pattern of use, this feature adapts charging behavior during the night. The battery is charged to a particular range and kept there for an extended period, before being fully charged to 100% just before you typically unplug it. This is beneficial for the long-term health of the battery.

If your computer is constantly plugged in and the battery rarely discharges, it may not charge to its full capacity even if the battery meter reports 100%. You can recover the battery’s full charging potential by discharging and re-charging it.

Step 1. Unplug the computer and use it until the battery charge drops below 20%.

Step 2. Plug in the computer and charge the battery to 100%.
