Charging the Battery

When you check the battery status and find that the battery is low, you

need to charge the battery or replace it with a charged battery.
If an AC outlet is convenient, first, connect the power cord to the

transformer pack; second, plug the power cord into an electrical outlet; and

then connect the AC adapter to the power jack of the computer.
The charging time is affected by the physical environment.

To increase the life of the battery, the computer does not start recharging

the battery if the remaining power is no less than 95 percent.
