The charging times are as follows:
Battery Type
9-cell (4 A)
CAUTION: After the computer has been fully recharged, do not immediately
disconnect and reconnect the AC adapter to charge it again. Doing so may
damage the battery.
NOTE: The battery level may automatically lessen due to the self-discharge
process (0.21 % per day), even when the battery pack is fully charged (100 %).
This happens no matter if the battery pack is installed in the computer.

Initializing the Battery Pack

You need to initialize a new battery pack before using it for the first time or when
the actual operating time of a battery pack is much less than expected.
Initializing is the process of fully charging, discharging, and then charging. It can
take several hours.
1. Make sure that the computer power is turned off. Connect the AC adapter to
fully charge the battery pack.
2. After the battery pack is fully charged, turn on the computer. When the message
"Press F2 to Enter BIOS Setup" appears, press F2 to enter the program.
3. Disconnect the AC adapter and leave the computer on until the battery is fully
discharged. The computer will shut down automatically.
4. Connect the AC adapter to fully charge the battery pack.
