Charging the battery
NOTE: Battery charge time may vary depending on the
applications, power management settings, and features used.
The battery needs to be charged before you can use it to
power the computer.
To charge the battery, plug the computer into a live wall
outlet. It takes several hours to charge the battery with the
computer off. It takes much longer to charge the battery while
the computer is on.
TECHNICAL NOTE: The battery does not charge while the
computer is consuming full power.
To charge the secondary battery, fit it in the Modular Bay and
connect the computer to an AC power source.
TECHNICAL NOTE: When batteries are being charged, the main
battery is charged first. After the main battery is fully charged, the
secondary battery in the Modular Bay is charged.
When the batteries discharge, the secondary battery in the
Modular Bay will discharge first, then the main battery.
