Monitoring main battery power

NOTE
The computer can be used while the RTC battery is being charged,
although the charging status of the RTC battery cannot be
monitored.
Monitoring main battery power
The computer's main battery light gives you an indication of the
main battery's current charge:
Slowly blinks green while the main battery is being charged
(AC adaptor connected).
Glows green when the main battery is fully charged and the AC
adaptor is not connected to the computer.
Is unlit when the main battery is fully charged and the AC
adaptor is plugged into the computer and an AC outlet.
NOTE
Rapidly blinks green when the main battery charge is low and
it is time to recharge the main battery or plug in the AC
adaptor.
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.
Battery life and charge time may vary, depending upon power
management settings, applications and features used.
