Using the main battery
NOTE
Using the main battery
Your computer came with its main battery already installed.
Before using the main battery to power the computer you
must first charge it.
To charge the main battery, leave the computer plugged into a
live wall outlet for at least six hours with the computer turned
off. After that, the main battery will be completely charged
and ready to power the computer.
For more information about installing or removing the main
battery see
If the AC power light flashes amber during charging, either the
main battery is malfunctioning, or it is not receiving input from
the AC power supply.
Disconnect the AC cable and remove the main battery pack.
See

on replacing the main battery.
TECHNICAL NOTE: The RTC battery does not charge while the
