To charge the battery pack
1
Connect the AC adapter to the computer.

Insert the battery pack.
The computer automatically charges the battery (the battery indicator 
light flashes in a double-blink pattern as the battery charges). When the 
battery is 85% full, the battery indicator light turns off. This process takes 
approximately one and one half hours. To charge the battery completely, 
continue charging for an additional hour.
The 
battery indicator light on the front of the computer indicates the
 
status of the battery pack.
