NOTE:Thetimerequiredfornormalchargedependsonthepowerconsumptionbythe
system.  Using the fluorescent lamp and frequently accessing the disk consume much
powerandlengthenthechargetime.

1. Thebatterybecomesfullycharged.
2. TheACadapterorbatterypackisremoved.

 DetectionofFullCharge
Afullchargeisdetectedonlywhenthebatteryisbeingchargedbyquickornormal
charge.Afullchargeisdetectedwheneitherofthefollowingconditionsismet:
1. Thecurrentinthebatterychargingcircuitdropsbelowthepredetermined
