To recharge the RTC battery, connect the computer and leave
it powered on for 24 hours.
The above error message may vary by computer model.

off even when the AC adapter is charging the computer.
If the RTC battery is low, the real-time clock and calendar
may display the incorrect time and date, or stop working.
It is seldom necessary to charge the RTC battery because it
charges while the computer is on. If the RTC battery is low, the
real-time clock and calendar may display the incorrect time
and date or stop working.
When Hibernation mode is enabled and the RTC battery is
completely discharged, a warning prompts you to reset the
real-time clock.
The computer can be used while the RTC battery is being
charged, although the charging status of the RTC battery
cannot be monitored.
