Charging the main battery
To charge the main battery, plug the computer into a live wall
outlet. It takes several hours to charge the battery with the
computer off. It takes much longer to charge the battery while
the computer is on. For more information on battery use, see
"Running the computer on battery power" on page
NOTE
for troubleshooting information.
Once the battery is charged for the first time, avoid leaving the
computer plugged in and turned off for more than a few hours
at a time. Continuing to charge a fully charged battery can
damage the battery.
TECHNICAL NOTE: When your computer is using all of the
power provided by the AC Adaptor to run applications,
features, and devices, the recharging of the battery can not
occur. Your computer's Power Saver utility can be used to
select a power level setting that reduces the power required for
system operation and will allow the battery to recharge.
Battery life and charge time may vary depending on the
applications, power management settings, and features used.
