being charged, and glows green when it is fully charged.
The battery may not start charging immediately under the
following conditions:
❖
The battery is extremely hot or cold.
To ensure that the battery charges to its full capacity, wait until
it reaches room temperature.
❖
The battery is almost completely discharged.
Leave the power connected and the battery should begin
charging after a few minutes.
TECHNICAL NOTE: When your computer is using all of the
power provided by the AC Adapter to run applications,
features, and devices, the recharging of the battery cannot
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 allows the battery to recharge.
Once the battery is fully charged, we recommend that you
operate your computer on battery power until the battery
discharges completely. Doing this extends battery life and
helps ensure accurate monitoring of battery capacity.
