The battery control switch has two control ports ON and OFF, which are used for
powering on and off the battery.
Press and hold the port ON for 5s to 10s until the battery is powered on.
Press and hold the port OFF for 5s to 10s until the battery is powered off.
CAUTION:
You need to insert a small round bar into the hole when you operate the battery
control switch. When you hear a crack, the battery is powered on or off.
To operate the battery control switch on the front panel of the PMU, insert a
small round pole into the hole.
