PACK

The computer uses an embedded battery pack that gives you long use 

between charges.

Battery pack characteristics

The battery is recharged whenever you connect the computer to the AC 

adapter. Your computer supports charge-in-use, enabling you to recharge 

the battery while you continue to operate the computer. However, recharging 

with the computer turned off results in a significantly faster charge time.

Charging the battery

Plug the AC adapter into the computer, and connect to a mains power 

outlet. You can continue to operate your computer on AC power while your 

battery is charging. However, charging the battery with the computer 

turned off results in a significantly faster charge time.

Note: You are advised to charge the battery before retiring for the day. 

Charging the battery overnight before traveling enables you to start 

the next day with a fully charged battery.

Conditioning a new battery pack

Before you use a battery pack for the first time, there is a conditioning 

process that you should follow:

1. Connect the AC adapter and fully charge the battery.
