2. Disconnect the AC adapter.
3. Turn on the computer and operate using battery power.

Follow these steps again until the battery has been charged and
discharged three times.
Use this conditioning process for all new batteries, or if a battery hasn't
been used for a long time.
Warning! Do not expose battery packs to temperatures below 0°
C (32° F) or above 45° C (113° F). Extreme temperatures may
adversely affect the battery pack.
By following the battery conditioning process you condition your battery to
accept the maximum possible charge. Failure to follow this procedure will
prevent you from obtaining the maximum battery charge, and will also
shorten the effective lifespan of the battery.
In addition, the useful lifespan of the battery is adversely affected by the
following usage patterns:
• Using the computer on constant AC power.
• Not discharging and recharging the battery to its extremes, as described
above.
• Frequent use; the more you use the battery, the faster it will reach the
end of its effective life. A standard computer battery has a life span of
about 300 charges.
