Power Charging a New Battery Pack To charge a new battery pack: ■ Charge the battery pack while the notebook is connected to external power through the AC adapter. ■ When you charge the battery pack, charge it fully. Charging an In-Use Battery Pack To charge an in-use battery pack: ■ Allow the battery pack to discharge to about 10 percent of a full charge through normal use before charging it. ■ When you charge the battery pack, charge it fully. Monitoring the Charge in a Battery Pack Obtaining Accurate Charge Information To increase the accuracy of the battery charge information that is displayed by your notebook: ■ Allow a battery pack to discharge to about 10 percent of a full charge through normal use before charging it. ■ When you charge a battery pack, charge it fully. The charge in even a new battery pack may be reported inaccurately until the battery pack has been fully charged at least once. ■ If a battery pack has been unused for one month or more, calibrate the battery pack instead of simply charging it. For information about battery calibration, refer to "Calibrating a Battery Pack," later in this chapter. 2-20 Hardware and Software Guide
