Subject: 	LED indicator notes. [March 16, 2010]
From: 	Richard A. Smith <richard at laptop.org>


Here's an update for the battery LED's..

What other pages do I need to look at?


=================
What does the battery indicator-light color mean?

- green means the laptop is plugged in and the battery is fully charged;

- yellow/orange means the laptop is plugged in and the battery is charging;

- A pattern of 4 yellow/orange flashes followed by no light means that 
the battery is trickle charging.  Trickle charging means your battery 
was very, low. Normal charging will start when trickle is over.

- no light when the laptop is powered on means it is running on battery 
power;

- no light when the laptop is powered off means the battery is not 
recharging;

- red means the battery is low; it should be recharged.

- red/yellow alternating means that the laptop battery has reached the 
critical level and can shut off any instant.

- flashing red mean battery error.

===============
How long should a fully charged battery last?

With standard operation, the battery should last approximately 3--5
hours.

( This is more like 2.5 - 3 hours)

 Certain applications, such as video, may reduce overall battery 
performance. Turning the backlight off saves battery power. (Future 
software releases are expected to improve battery life.)
