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.
CAUTION: Once the battery is charged for the first time,
avoid leaving the computer plugged in and turned off for
more than a few hours at a time. Continuing to charge a fully
charged battery can damage the battery.
