battery pack may be reaching the end of its life and should be replaced.
❑
You do not need to discharge the battery before recharging.
❑
If you have not used the battery pack for a considerable amount of time,
recharge the battery.
❑ Keep the battery pack in the computer while it is directly connected to AC
power. The battery pack continues to charge while you are using the
computer.
❑
If your battery level falls to less than 10 percent, you should either attach the

The battery pack supplied with your computer is a lithium-ion battery and
can be recharged at any time. Charging a partially discharged battery does
not affect battery life.

flashing.
Conserving battery power
When using the notebook computer with a battery, the LCD display and the hard
