The RTC battery powers the RTC memory that stores your 
system configuration settings and the current time and date 
information. It maintains this information for up to a month 
while the computer is turned off.

TECHNICAL NOTE: The RTC battery does not charge while the 
computer is turned off, even when AC power is attached.

The RTC battery charges only while the computer is powered on.

The computer’s main battery light gives you an indication of 
the main battery’s current charge:

❖

Glows amber while the main battery is being charged 
(AC adapter connected).

❖

Glows blue when the main battery is fully charged.

❖

Is unlit when the battery has discharged, the battery is not 
charging, or the AC adapter is not plugged into the 
computer or AC outlet.

Battery life and charge time may vary, depending upon power 
management settings, applications and features used. 

❖

Flashes amber when the main battery charge is low and it 
is time to recharge the main battery or plug in the AC 
adapter.

HINT: Be careful not to confuse the battery light (

) with the on/off 

light (

). When the on/off light flashes amber, it indicates that the 

system is suspended (using the Windows

®

 operating system 

Standby command).

TECHNICAL NOTE: When your computer is using all of the power 
provided by the AC Adapter to run applications, features, and 
devices, the recharging of the battery cannot occur. Your computer's 
Power Saver utility can be used to select a power level setting that 
reduces the power required for system operation and will allow the 
battery to recharge.
