<pre>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.)
