Power
When the computer is not plugged into an AC adaptor, the battery pack is the pri- mary power source. However, your computer has a number of other power resources, including intelligent power supply and Real Time Clock battery. These resources are interrelated and any one could affect apparent power prob- lems. This section provides check lists for AC adaptor and the main battery.
