Charging the batteries

When the power in the battery pack becomes low, the Battery indicator will

flash amber to indicate that only a few minutes of battery power remain. If

you continue to use the computer while the Battery indicator flashes, the

computer will enable Hibernation Mode so that you do not lose any data,

and automatically turn itself off.
You must recharge a battery pack when it becomes discharged.

Procedures

To recharge a battery pack while it is installed in the computer, connect the

injury.

The battery pack is lithium ion battery, which can explode if not
