Charging a Battery Pack

To prolong battery life and optimize the accuracy of battery charge displays:

■If you are charging a new battery pack:

❏Charge the battery pack while the notebook is connected to external power through the AC adapter.

❏When you charge the battery pack, charge it fully.

■If you are charging an in-usebattery pack:

❏Allow the battery pack to discharge to about 10 percent of a full charge through normal use before charging it.

❏When you charge the battery pack, charge it fully.

A battery pack inserted in the notebook charges whenever the notebook is connected to external power through an AC adapter or through an optional docking device, or through an optional combination power adapter.

ÅWARNING: Do not charge the notebook battery pack onboard aircraft. Charging the battery pack may damage aircraft electronic systems.
