Power Status Icons Indicator Meaning AC power. The ac adapter is connected. Battery status. Shows the approximate charge level of the battery relative to a full charge. Each bar (displayed from right to left), represents a 10% charge. Battery presence. The upper and lower triangles indicate the presence of main (upper) and second (lower) batteries.
