Charging icon appears in the Status display. If the battery pack charge is 90% or higher when you connect DC power, the battery pack will not charge, preventing overcharging the battery pack.
2.Look at the Battery Gauge icon in the Status display to determine the percent of charge in the battery pack. See “Status Display” in Chapter 1 of this manual for a description of the Battery Gauge icon.
As long as DC power remains connected to the pen tablet, the charging process continues until the battery pack charge reaches 100%. Charge times shown in Table
Table 2-2 Battery Pack Charging Time
Battery Pack Charge | Approximate Charge Time | Approximate Charge Time |
Level Reached | (tablet not in use) | (tablet in use) |

90% | 3 hours | 6 hours* |

100% | 4 hours | 8 hours* |

* Depends upon the applications in use.
Also note the following with respect to charging the battery pack:
•You can use the system, suspend system operation, or shut down and turn off the system without interrupting the charging process; however, using the system while the battery pack is charging will cause the battery pack to charge at a slower rate, as noted in Table
•As noted in the procedure above, the system will not begin charging the battery pack if the battery pack charge level is 90% or higher when the system is initially connected to external DC power. (This prevents the battery pack from being overcharged.)
•The Stylistic 3400 battery pack uses Lithium ion battery cells which have no
“memory effect.” You do not need to discharge the battery pack before you begin charging.
