This battery indicator turns on automatically while the battery is being charged (when connected to AC power). When the battery is fully charged, the battery indicator turns off. The battery power remaining is an approximate figure. The remaining operating time expected may be different from the actual remaining time, depending on the use of the computer. If the actual remaining power in your battery is less than what the battery indicator lights suggest, you should initialize the battery pack as per the procedure on page 3-3.
