X30 backup battery

[chitin]

I just received my new X30 and charged it. But it is popping up and saying: the backup battery is low and you will lose your data if you remove your main battery.
Then I charged it again and the backup battery showed nomal. But I could not see the percentage bar like main battery which shows how much battery remain. After I remove the main battery, I could not turn on the machine. Is it normal? The backup battery is supposed to last about 30 min in sleeping model.

I'm worry about if my backup battery is good. Could any one tell me what will happen if you remove the main battery and if the backup battery works fine?

Enjoy your new x30.

The back up battery only charges once the main battery is full. From new, this will take over 5 hours, with many people charging 1st time for 8 hours, this is long after the light turns green.

The back up battery is only designed to retain data in the volatile memory for short periods of time whilst the main battery is changed.( 30 mins). It does not generate enough power to allow the unit to be operated.

If you remove the main battery, the x30 will not work as it does not have the power to do so. You can ( I think), however switch it on with the main battery removed if you plug in the mains adapter.

The back up battery does not have a percentage bar like the main one, and what you are experiencing is normal for the x30.

Your X30 is perfectly ok and so is the back up battery.

Enjoy using this great machine.....
