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.
