than what the battery indicator lights suggest as per the procedure on page 3-3.

charge will last will depend on the computer

usage. Applications which heavily use the peripherals, like the

externalfloppy

disk drive unit or the optional external CD-ROM

drive, will experience shorter power duration.

properly. Connect the ACpower to charge the

battery.
