To recharge the RTC battery, plug the computer into a live

Monitoring main battery power

The computer's main battery light gives you an indication of
the main battery's current charge:
Glows amber while the main battery is being charged
(AC adapter connected).
Glows green when the main battery is fully charged.
Is unlit when the battery has discharged, the battery is not
charging, or the AC adapter is not plugged into the
computer or AC outlet.
NOTE
Monitoring main battery power
It is seldom necessary to charge the RTC battery because
it charges while the computer is on. If the RTC battery is
low, the real-time clock and calendar may display the
incorrect time and date or stop working.
When Hibernation mode is enabled and the RTC battery
is completely discharged, a warning prompts you to
reset the real-time clock.
Battery life and charge time may vary, depending upon power
management settings, applications and features used.
