Power and the batteries 
Your computer receives its power through the AC adaptor and 
power cord/cable or from the system batteries (battery, 
optional high-capacity battery, and real-time clock (RTC) 
battery). Power problems are interrelated. For example, a 
faulty AC adaptor or power cord/cable will neither power the 
computer nor recharge the batteries.
