Charging the Battery
This section covers how to charge your battery in
the notebook computer.
c
Caution: Never recharge the battery
differently from the procedures described in
this document.
To recharge your batteries in the notebook,
complete the following steps:
1. Install the battery pack in your computer (if not
already installed).
2. Connect the AC Adapter.
3. Leave the AC Adapter connected for at least 90
minutes after the battery LEDs turn off.
n Note: The batteries will charge much faster (by
several hours) if charging with the notebook
powered off.
4. To maintain a full charge, leave the computer
connected to the AC Adapter except when
transporting the computer.
A fully-depleted battery charges in about six
hours with the power switch to the notebook
turned off. If power to the notebook is left on,
you must charge the batteries overnight.
