Using a New Battery Pack
Fully charge the battery pack in the notebook battery bay or the
notebook MultiBay while the notebook is connected to an
external power source or docked in a Port Replicator.
Although you can use a new battery pack that has been fully
charged to run the notebook, battery charge displays are more
accurate after calibration. For calibration instructions, refer on
this CD to the Software Guide, “Calibrating a Battery Pack” in
the “Power” chapter.
