To

check

whether

the

battery

charges

properly

during

operation,

use

a

discharged

battery

pack

50%

of

the

total

power

remaining

when

installed

in

computer.

Perform

operational

charging.

status

indicator

or

not

turn

on,

let

it

return

power

remaining

is

displayed.
