You can increase the portability of the computer with additional battery 

packs so that, if you're away from an AC power source and your battery 

runs low, you can replace it with a freshly-charged battery. Please refer to 

Chapter 6, 

 for further information.

If you frequently use your computer at more than one site, it may be 

convenient to purchase an additional AC adaptor to be kept at each site in 

order to remove the need to always carry the adaptor with you.

The battery charger provides a convenient way to charge up to two Lithium 

Ion battery packs without requiring the use of your computer.
