TP 755CX - Li-Ion Battery

Applicable to: World-Wide

Symptom:
The system does not power up using the battery. It does power up using the AC Adapter , but does not charge the battery.This will be indicated at the FUEL icon.

Problem Isolation Guidance:
Install the battery in the system unit for more than 8 Hrs with the AC adapter powered on. The battery charge LED will blink every 15 seconds. Any batteries which have been stored in stock for a long time period may require this recovery operation at the first time of use.
A Travel quick charger can also be used to recover the battery.If the battery does not recover it should be replaced.

Fix:
The battery will not go into this condition during normal usage. Plug in the AC adapter and keep the battery in a fully charged condition (more than 90% of capacity) every time sytem is used. When the system is not in use for any substantial time period
then charge the battery and remove it from the system.
