HP Smart AC adapter warning message: informs you that as power demands
increase, the notebook may not perform at full capacity, which may result in
longer battery-charging time. In cases of extreme power demands, the system
may also throttle back the processor, or with systems that have a discrete video
sub-system, a video balance mode may occur to further balance the power needs
of the system.
System processor functions always have priority over battery charging, so
charging delays will occur first.
Possible cause
Real-time clock (RTC) battery might need replacement.
Troubleshooting steps
1.
Reset the date and time in the operating system Control Panel.
2.
Replace the RTC battery.
3.
Verify that date and time are correct.
