    I'm having trouble understanding the FN+2 option....

    When Plugged

    FN+2
    ----> Disabled : Battery completely disabled, No trickle charging
    ----> Enabled (Full Battery) : Battery Enabled, Allows Charging if needed
    ----> Enabled (Not Full Battery, after use): Battery Enabled, Disallows Charging

    When Unplugged


    FN+2
    ----> Disabled: What the F?? How is my PC still running?
    ----> Enabled: Don't notice difference between "full" and "not full" battery

    When you cycle the different options you're just trurning on or off the capability of the battery to be charged.
