Turn off or suspend the computer and replace the discharged
battery with a charged battery (See Battery Charging below).
Do not restart the computer until you have connected to an AC
adapter, or replaced the discharged battery with a charged battery.
Battery Charging
When you use the AC adapter to connect your Notebook to a power
outlet, the internal battery will automatically begin to recharge. While
the battery is charging, the Battery Charge icon on the Indicator
panel will be active after 6~12 seconds. When the battery is fully
charged, the Battery Charge icon will turn off.
If your computer is turned off, a fully discharged battery will take
about 3 hours to recharge. If your computer is turned on and is not in
suspend mode, it twill take about 6~13 hours to recharge the battery.
Refer to the following table:
