Charging the batteries

When the power in the battery pack becomes low, the Battery indicator
flashes amber indicating that only a few minutes of battery power remain.
If you continue to use the computer while the Battery indicator flashes, the
computer enables Hibernation mode (so you don't lose data) and
automatically turns off.
You must recharge a battery pack when it becomes discharged.
Procedures
To recharge a battery pack while it is installed in the computer, connect the
AC adapter to the DC IN socket and plug the other end into a working outlet.
The Battery indicator glows amber when the battery is being charged.
Use only the computer connected to an AC power source to charge the
battery pack. Do not attempt to charge the battery pack with any other
