Using a second battery pack
You can purchase a second rechargeable battery pack. With two battery packs, you can
extend the time that you use your computer with battery power. When using two
battery packs, the battery pack you insert first charges first. The battery pack you insert
second charges when the first battery pack is 85 percent full. You can monitor which
battery pack is charging by observing the battery indicator lights.
