Charging the main battery

To charge the main battery, plug the computer into a live wall
outlet. It takes several hours to charge the battery with the
computer off. It takes much longer to charge the battery while
the computer is on. For more information on battery use, see

for troubleshooting information.
Once the battery is charged for the first time, avoid leaving the
computer plugged in and turned off for more than a few hours
at a time. Continuing to charge a fully charged battery can
damage the battery.
TECHNICAL NOTE: When your computer is using all of the
power provided by the AC Adapter to run applications,
features, and devices, the recharging of the battery cannot
occur. Your computer's Power Saver utility can be used to
select a power level setting that reduces the power required for
system operation and will allow the battery to recharge.
