Battery Packs
Charging a New Battery Pack
Fully charge the battery pack while the notebook is connected to
AC power through the AC Adapter.
A new battery pack that has been partially charged, but not fully
charged, can run the notebook, but battery charge displays may
be inaccurate.
Charging an In-Use Battery Pack
To prolong battery life and increase the accuracy of battery
charge displays:
■
Allow a battery pack to discharge to 10 percent of a full
charge through normal use before charging it.
■
When you charge a battery pack, charge it fully.
Charging a Primary and a MultiBay Battery Pack
If a primary battery pack is inserted into the battery bay and a
MultiBay battery pack is inserted into the MultiBay, the primary
battery pack is the first to charge and the MultiBay battery pack is
the first to discharge.
