Charging the battery

If an ac outlet is convenient, plug the ac power adapter into it, and then insert the jack into the computer. The battery will be fully charged in about 2 hours. This is affected by the battery size and the physical environment. The battery status indicator will let you know that the battery is charging, and will also notify you when the battery is fully charged.
