Charging a battery pack
To prolong battery life and optimize the accuracy of battery charge displays:
WARNING! Do not charge the computer battery pack on board aircraft. Charging the battery
pack may damage aircraft electronic systems.
● If you are charging a new battery pack:
● Charge the battery pack while the computer is connected to external power through the AC
adapter.
● When you charge the battery pack, charge it fully before turning on the computer.
● If you are charging an in-use battery pack:
●
Allow the battery pack to discharge to about 10 percent of a full charge through normal use
before charging it.
●
When you charge the battery pack, charge it fully before turning on the computer.
A battery pack inserted in the computer charges whenever the computer is connected to external
power through an AC adapter, an optional expansion product, or an optional power adapter.
A battery pack inserted in the computer charges whether the computer is off or in use, but the battery
pack charges faster while the computer is off. Charging may be delayed if a battery pack is new, has
been unused for 2 weeks or more, or is much warmer or cooler than room temperature.
