Figure 4. Connecting the AC Adapter
The battery starts charging as soon as you plug the AC adapter into an electrical outlet. The battery charges faster if the computer is turned off during charging.
If the battery is fully depleted and the computer is turned off, the battery charges in about 3 hours. If the computer is turned on, the battery charges in about 5 hours. When the battery is charging, the battery charge light is amber. When the battery is fully charged, the light turns green.
See ”Using the Battery” on page 37 for more information on using your computer’s battery.
