Before using the computer on battery power for the first time,
check the battery status icon on the Windows Toolbar to make
sure the battery is fully charged.
See Battery Status later in this section for a description and
explanation of the Windows Battery icon.
Charging the battery takes about 2.5 hours to charge when the
system is in off state. If possible, always charge the battery
completely.
