Using the Battery Your computer uses a smart rechargeable Lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery pack for
power when the AC adapter is not attached to an electrical outlet. The smart
battery gives an accurate measurement of the current battery capacity which
helps extend operating time by enabling effective power management in
Operating Systems that take advantage of the accurate information supplied by
the battery.
Charging the Battery Your computer’s battery starts charging automatically when you connect the
power to the computer and to an electrical outlet. If the computer is off, the battery
charges faster than if the computer’s power is on.
Approximate charging times for Li-Ion (Ni-MH) battery are:
• Two and a half (2.5) hours with the computer off.
• Four (4) hours with the computer on.
While the battery is charging normally, the battery charge light on the computer is
amber (See ”System Status Lights” on page 29 for the location of the battery
charge light). When the battery is fully charged, the light changes to green.
