When you do not use the AC adapter, disconnect it from the electrical outlet.

following conditions:
When you purchase a new battery
If the battery status indicator (amber) starts blinking
If the battery has not been used for a long time
Before you charge the battery, make sure that its temperature is at least 10
degrees Celsius (50 degrees Fahrenheit).

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.
Note:
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.
