Monitoring of power condition
As shown in the below table, the DC IN/Battery and Power indicators on
the system indicator alert you to the computer’s operating capability and
battery charge status.

pack's temperature falls to a normal range, charging will resume - this
process will occur regardless of whether the computer's power is on or off.
