If you need to disassemble or replace the battery, please contact the designated LG Electronics Service Center.

We charge a fee for removing or replacing the battery.

Charging a Battery

The adapter can be used from 100 V to 240 V.

Tip:

If you have been using the adapter for 220 V and wish to use it for 110 V, you can connect a plug for 110 V to the cord. (the plug for 110 V is sold separately).

  1. Connect the power cable to the adapter main body, and connect the adapter to the power outlet.

  2. Connect the power cable to the USB-C™ port of the PC.

    • On: When the adapter is connected and charging is complete

    • Blinking: When the adapter is connected and is charging

    • Off: When the adapter is not connected

      If you try to turn on the system that has entered the Hibernate mode or been turned off after a low-battery alarm, the system will not be turned on but the lamp will blink three times. If this is the case, connect the adapter and charge the battery sufficiently before using it.

Caution:

Do not leave a liquid container on the PC.

  • The system may be short-circuited and damaged.

Use batteries certified and acknowledged by LG Electronics Inc.

  • Uncertified batteries may explode.

Warning:

Please use an adapter certified by LG Electronics Inc.

  • Uncertified batteries may explode.

  • It may cause a problem in battery charging or system operation.

When you use an adapter, follow the below directions.

  • 60 °C or more high-humidity spaces, for example, inside cars or saunas, should be avoided when you use or store it.

  • Do not disassemble or modify the adapter.

  • Do not twist the adapter plug.

  • When you connect the adapter, do not forcefully push the plug.

The battery may explode due to excessive heat, causing fire. For a safe and efficient use of battery, follow the below directions.

  • Do not short-circuit the battery.

  • Keep the battery out of reach of children.

  • A visible swelling of the battery pack indicates a possible danger. When this occurs, contact your local vendor or service center immediately.

  • Use only a certified and designated recharger.

  • Keep the battery pack away from heat. (Never put it in a microwave.)

  • Do not leave inside a car under the summer heat.

  • Do not leave or use at a hot and humid place like a sauna.

  • Do not use the machine placed on a heating blanket or other heat reserving materials.

  • Do not leave the machine turned on inside a closed space.

  • Make sure that the battery ports are not touched by any metallic objects like a key, coin, necklace, and watch.

  • Use only a lithium secondary battery certified and guaranteed by mobile device manufactures.

  • Do not disassemble or modify the battery. Do not compress or pierce the battery.

  • Do not apply shock to the battery. For example, do not drop the battery from a high place.

  • Keep the room temperature between -5 °C and 40 °C. Do not expose the PC to heat hotter than 60 °C.

  • Keep the machine dry.

  • Do not discard the battery arbitrarily as you are requested to follow the local procedure for discarding the battery.

  • Before using this machine, read this guide carefully.

Tip:

When the PC is not to be used for a long period of time, refer to the following:

  • Check the battery charge level on a regular basis and keep it at 50 %. This allows you to extend the battery life.

  • If the battery is left fully charged for an extended period of time, the battery capacity and battery running time may be reduced.

  • If the battery is left fully discharged for an extended period of time, it may become over-discharged and cannot be charged again.

For more efficient use of the battery, read the following carefully.

  • The battery runs low naturally even if it is kept unused.

  • To increase battery lifespan, use the battery for a while before charging it rather than keeping the battery completely charged.

  • If you don't use the product for a long time with the battery completely discharged, the battery lifespan may decrease.

The battery capacity may change due to chemical reactions during charge and discharge.

  • LG Notebook frequently checks the charge level of its battery based on usage conditions, and then calculates and correctly indicates the actual remaining level of the battery.

  • The battery is wearable goods and thus the life span may become shorter with use. The battery running time may also become shorter accordingly.

  • When the battery is fully charged, the machine stops recharging. It resumes recharging when the battery charge rate drops below 95 %. This feature secures the safe and efficient use of the battery.

  • When the temperature of the battery drops below 10 °C, it is charged in a low current to protect the battery cells. In this case, charging time may stretch to up to 32 hours.

If you use the system at a low temperature, refer to the following:

  • The battery capacity may be reduced depending on the chemical characteristics of the battery and the system may not be turned on after it freezes or it is turned off.

  • If the system freezes or if it is not turned on, connect the adapter to the system and charge the battery fully before use.

  • If there is any error in the indication of the battery capacity, charge and discharge the battery two or three times at room temperature to return to the normal operation.
