The main battery is extremely hot or cold. To ensure that the
main battery charges to its full capacity, wait until it reaches
room temperature.

The main battery is almost completely discharged. Leave the
power connected and the main battery should begin charging
after a few minutes.

operate your computer on battery power until the main battery
discharges completely. Doing this extends the life of the main
battery and helps ensure accurate monitoring of battery capacity.
