Charging the battery
When you check battery status and nd that the percentage of power remaining is low or when the power
alarm alerts you that the remaining power is low, you need to charge your battery.
If an ac outlet is convenient, plug the ac power adapter into it, and then insert the jack into the computer.
The battery will be fully charged in about 2 hours. This is affected by the battery size and the physical
environment. The battery status indicator will let you know that the battery is charging, and will also notify
you when the battery is fully charged.

To increase the life of the battery, the computer does not start recharging the battery if the remaining
power is greater than 95%.
