Checking the Battery Pack (2625 365X, XD)

1.  Power off the computer.
2.  Remove the battery pack and measure the voltage between battery  terminals 2 (+) and 6 (-).

    
   

   Terminal	Voltage (Vdc) / Signal
   1	-
   2	+8 to +13.5
   3	-
   4	-
   5	Thermal
   6	Ground (-)

    

   NOTE: Signal lines, not used in these steps,  are used for communication between the system and the battery.

3.  If the voltage is less than  +9.6 V dc, the battery pack has  been discharged. Recharge the battery pack.

    If the voltage is still less than +9.6 V dc after recharging,  replace the battery.

   NOTE:  If the voltage of the battery pack is 0 V, it is not defective.

4.  If the voltage is more than +9.6 V dc,  measure the resistance between  battery terminals 5 and 6.  The resistance must be 4 K to 30 K ohm.

    If the resistance is not correct, replace the battery pack.
    If the resistance is correct, replace the system board.
