Charging the main battery
5.375 x 8.375 ver 2.3
Glows green when the main battery is fully charged
Is unlit when the battery is discharged, the battery is not 
charging, or the AC adapter is not plugged into the 
computer or AC outlet
Flashing amber means the main battery charge is low and 
it is time to recharge the main battery or plug in the AC 
adapter
If the AC power light flashes amber during charging, either the 
battery pack is malfunctioning, or it is not receiving correct 
input from the AC power supply.
Disconnect the AC cable and remove the battery pack. See 
 for information on 
replacing the main battery.
Charging the main battery
Your computer came with its main battery already installed. 
Before using the battery to power the computer, you must 
charge the battery.
To charge the main battery, leave the computer plugged into 
an AC power source for at least three hours with the computer 
turned off. After that, the battery will be completely charged 
and ready to power the computer.
TECHNICAL NOTE: The RTC battery does not charge while the 
computer is turned off, even when AC power is attached.
The RTC battery charges when the computer is powered on.
For more information about installing or removing the main 
battery, see
