Battery Packs
Hardware Guide 3–7
Charging a New Battery Pack
Fully charge the battery pack while the notebook is connected to
external power through the AC adapter.
A new battery pack that has been partially but not fully charged
can run the notebook, but the battery charge indicators may
be inaccurate.
Charging an In-Use Battery Pack
To prolong battery life and increase the accuracy of battery
charge indicators:
■ 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 MultiBay Battery
Pack
If a primary battery pack is in the battery bay and a MultiBay
battery pack is in the MultiBay, the primary battery pack is the
first to charge and the MultiBay battery pack is the first to
discharge.
