To recharge the RTC battery, plug in the computer and leave it turned on for 10 or more hours. NOTE: It is seldom necessary to charge the RTC battery because it charges while the computer is off. When Hibernation mode is enabled and the RTC battery is completely discharged, a warning prompts you to reset the realtime clock.
