Recharging the Batteries
If you want to check the condition of either
the main Lithium ion battery or the optional
second Lithium ion battery, check the Battery
Level indicators located on the Status Indicator
Panel. These indicators change as the battery
levels change. Battery 1 is the main Lithium ion
battery and Battery 2 is the optional second
Lithium ion battery. (Figure 2-3 on page 19.)You
can also check the PowerPanel toolbar.
Both batteries are recharged internally using
the AC adapter or auto/airline adapter. To
recharge the batteries:
Make sure the battery to be charged is
installed in your notebook and connect the
AC adapter or auto/airline adapter.
During charging, an Arrow icon is displayed
just to the left of the Battery Level icon on
the Status Indicator.
The percentage charge is shown inside the
Battery Level icon. (Figure 2-4 on page 20.)
