If you want to charge the battery more quickly, put your computer into Suspend mode or turn it off while the adapter is charging the battery. Please always follow the charging instructions provided with your Notebook. * If you happen to leave your battery pack to go through an extended period of self-discharge, say more than three months, the battery voltage level will become too low and needs to be Pre-Charged (to bring the battery voltage level high enough) before it automatically resumes its normal Fast Charge.
