Micron Technology MERIDIAN 850 manual Charging the Battery, Pre-charging a Dead Battery

Chapter 3 - Battery and Power Management

Charging the Battery

To charge the battery, plug the AC adapter into the system and an electrical outlet. The AC adapter converts alternating current (AC) into direct current (DC). When the power switch is turned on, the AC adapter supplies power to the system and recharges the battery pack only when the system in suspend mode. Otherwise, to recharge you must turn off the computer.

Recharging takes about 80 minutes for an empty battery pack when the computer is off or in suspend mode. The battery will not recharge while the computer is being used.

While the battery is charging, the CHARGE LED is orange. Once the battery is fully charged, the CHARGE LED turns green.

Pre-charging a Dead Battery

If the battery has been completely discharged or placed in prolonged storage, it may need a pre-charge in addition to a normal charge. A pre- charge can take as little as a few seconds or as much as an hour in some extreme cases. While the battery pre-charges, the CHARGE LED will slowly flash orange.
