double-check the cable connection and the
electrical outlet to which it is connected.

A red lightning bolt indicates that
the battery is connected to a wall
outlet and is charging.

A green lightning bolt indicates that
the battery is connected to a wall
outlet and is fully charged.

A partial battery without a lightning
bolt indicates that the battery is not
connected to a wall outlet and it
has some power.

An almost empty battery that is red
at the bottom indicates that you
need to charge the battery
immediately.

TIP

To see exactly how much power is left in
