Chapter 3: Getting Started
Using Battery Power
The Eee PC is designed to work with a removable battery pack. The 
battery pack consists of a set of battery cells housed together. A fully 
charged pack will provide several hours of battery life. Additional 
battery packs are optional and can be purchased separately through 
an Eee PC retailer. 
Remember to fully charge the battery (8 hours or more) before 
first use and whenever it is depleted to prolong battery life. The 
battery reaches its maximum capacity after a few full charging 
and discharging cycles.
