Hot Swapping the Battery

Hot Swapping the Battery

Replacing a battery while the tablet is on is called hot swapping. You can hot swap a battery only if you have a second, charged battery to replace it with.
You have approximately one minute to hot swap the battery. If you have not replaced the battery within one minute, the tablet goes into Sleep mode.
  1. Remove the battery.
  2. Insert the new battery.
While hot swapping the battery, notice the following behaviors:
  • The tablet display gets dimmer. When the charged battery is in the tablet, the display brightens again.
  • The battery status LED turns blue when the system is on and no main battery is present. When you put a charged battery in the tablet, the LED lights turn green again.
  • The power button is disabled. (The power button is disabled at any time the tablet has no battery and is not running on AC power through the power adapter.)
