Battery Packs

Charging a New Battery Pack

Fully charge the battery pack while the notebook is connected to AC power through the AC Adapter.

A new battery pack that has been partially charged, but not fully charged, can run the notebook, but battery charge displays may be inaccurate.

Charging an In-Use Battery Pack

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

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

■When you charge a battery pack, charge it fully.

Charging a Primary and a MultiBay Battery Pack

If a primary battery pack is inserted into the battery bay and a MultiBay battery pack is inserted into the MultiBay, the primary battery pack is the first to charge and the MultiBay battery pack is the first to discharge.
