Charging the Battery
When you check the battery status and find that the percentage of power remaining is low or when the power alarm alerts you that remaining power is low, you need to charge your battery or replace it with a charged battery.
If an AC outlet is convenient, first, connect the AC adapter to the power jack of the computer; second, connect the power cord to the transformer pack; and then plug the power cord to the AC outlet.
The charging time is affected by the physical environment. The battery status indicator lets you know that the battery is charging, and also notifies you when the battery is fully charged.
Note: To increase the life of the battery, the computer does not start recharging the battery if the remaining power is greater than 95 percent.

Attempting to do so can cause an explosion, or liquid leakage from the battery pack.
