A lightning bolt icon appears in the battery monitor portion of the Control Strip when the power adapter is plugged in and a battery is recharging.

The battery is recharged regardless of whether you are using the computer, or the computer is off or in sleep; however, it will recharge more quickly if the computer is off or in sleep.

WARNING Use only the external power adapter that came with your computer. Adapters for other electronic devices (including other portable computers) may look similar, but they may damage your computer.
