Power
AC Adapter
  • AC adapter: This ac-to-dc converter supplies the necessary power to the computer. The ac adapter also charges the battery pack when it is installed in the computer.
  • Universal AC adapter (120 W):
    • Input is 100/240 V ac, 1.5 A, 50/60 Hz
    • Output is 16 V dc, 7.5
Battery
  • The battery pack is an internal power source to the computer when the ac adapter is not available. The battery pack is rechargeable and is charged using the ac adapter with the system.
  • You can determine how much battery power remains by using the fuel- gauge ThinkPad utility program, which displays the percent charge remaining.
  • A different Li-Ion battery pack fits into the Ultrabay Slim so that two batteries can be installed to increase battery operating time.
  • A six or twelve cell Li-Ion battery or an eight cell NiMH battery pack is shipped with the system.
  • Battery pack:
    • Li-Ion
      • 6 cell: 10.8 V, 4.4 AH
      • 12 cell: 10.8 V, 8.8 AH
    • NiMH
      • 8 cell: 9.6 V, 4.5 AH
  • Approximate operation and charging time
    Charging
    State of operation 8 cell NiMH 6 cell Li-Ion 12 cell Li-Ion
    Power off/suspend charging 2.5 hours 3.0 hours 4.5 hours
    Charging during operation 3.5 hours 3.0-5.0 hours 4.5-8.5 hours
    Hours of operation
    6 cell Li-Ion battery 1 hour 45 minutes
    8 cell NiMH battery 1 hour 12 minutes
    12 cell Li-Ion battery 3 hours 30 minutes

Notes:

  • (*1) Recharge time also varies.
  • (*2) These model numbers achieved eTesting Labs, Inc.'s BatteryMark 4.0.1 or the Ziff Davis Media Inc.'s Business Winstone 2002 BatteryMarkTM Version 1.0 Battery Rundown Time of at least the times shown above. This test was performed without independent verification by VeriTest testing division of Lionbridge Technologies, Inc. ("VeriTest") nor Ziff Davis Media Inc.; neither Ziff Davis Media Inc. nor VeriTest makes any representations or warranties as to these test results. A description of the environment under which the test was performed is available at: www.ibm.com/pc/ww/thinkpad/batterylife.html. Battery life (and recharge times) will vary based on many factors including screen brightness, applications, features, power management, battery conditioning and other customer preferences.

Security
System
  • A locking device in the security slot provides physical security.
Password
  • A Power-on password (POP) protects the system from unauthorized use. If a POP is set, the password prompt appears:
    • Each time the system is turned on
    • When the system is returned to normal operation from suspend mode
  • A Supervisor Password provides a higher level of security than the POP. The Supervisor Password protects the system functions from being used by unauthorized users,and protects the hardware configuration from unauthorized modification. The Supervisor Password prompt appears:
    • When the BIOS setup screen is accessed.
  • A HDD Password (HDP) protects HDD data from unauthorized users. Once HDP is set, data on the HDD cannot be accessed without the correct HDP. Because the HDP is stored in the HDD, the data remains protected even if the HDD is removed to another system. The HDP password prompt appears:
    • Each time the system is turned on
