Charging the battery
To charge the battery, install the battery pack and plug the AC adapter into the
computer and an electrical outlet.
Charging modes
The adapter has two charging modes:
•
Rapid mode
The computer uses rapid charging when power is turned off and a powered
AC adapter is connected to it. In rapid mode, a fully depleted battery gets
95% charged in approximately 2.5 hours.
• Charge-in-use mode
When the computer is in use with the AC adapter plugged in, the computer
also charges the battery pack if installed. This mode will take longer to fully
charge a battery than rapid mode. In charge-in-use mode, a fully depleted
battery gets 95% charged in approximately 4 hours.
