Charging the Battery Pack(s)
Follow these steps to fully charge the battery packs:
1. Connect the AC Adapter to the computer and plug it into an
electrical outlet.
2. Turn on the computer if you want to use it while the battery
packs are charging.
3. If more than one battery is installed in the system, only one
battery will charge at a time, beginning with the battery pack in
the handle, then the battery pack in the computer DualBay, and
finally the battery pack in the Mobile CD Expansion Unit
(MCD).
When the battery charge indicator turns off, the battery packs are no
longer being fast-charged, but may not be fully charged. It takes up
to 3.5 hours to fast-charge a battery pack when the computer is
turned off. It takes up to 6 hours to charge a battery pack when the
computer is turned on.
NOTE
: Battery packs should be recycled or disposed of according to
local regulations. Refer to the Recycling Used Battery Packs section
that follows for more information.
