Broadcom Corporation BRCM1053 Manuel D’Utilisation

• Not discharging and recharging the battery to its extremes, as 

described above.

• Frequent use; the more you use the battery, the faster it will reach the 

end of its effective life. A standard computer battery has a life span of 
more than 1,000 charges.

Optimizing battery life helps you get the most out of battery operation, 
prolonging the charge/recharge cycle and improving recharging 
efficiency. You are advised to follow the suggestions set out below:

• Use AC power whenever possible, reserving battery for on-the-go use.

• Eject a PC Card if it is not being used, as it will continue to draw power 

(for selected models).

• Excessive recharging decreases the battery life.

• Look after your AC adapter and battery. 

The Windows power meter indicates the current battery level. Rest the 
cursor over the battery/power icon on the taskbar to see the battery's 
present charge level.

When using battery power pay attention to the Windows power meter.
