Charging a battery

You will need to charge the battery if battery power drops below 10 percent or you have not used the battery for a long

time. The lithium-ion battery supplied with your computer may be recharged at any time, whether you wait until the battery

is completely or partially discharged. Charging a partially discharged battery does not affect battery life. If you charge the

battery and find that battery power is still low, the battery may be reaching the end of its life, and you may need to replace

it.

The battery supplied with your computer is not charged at the time of purchase.

To charge a battery

You can charge the battery when the computer is on or off. However, the battery will charge faster when the computer is

off. Charging the battery takes several hours. See your VAIO®Computer Specifications on the Welcome page for the

approximate time needed to charge your battery.

Charge the battery at temperatures between 50°F and 80°F (10°C to 30°C). Lower temperatures require more time

to charge.

1. Insert the battery into the battery bay.

2. Connect the AC adapter to the computer. The computer automatically charges the battery as long as the

computer is using AC power.

The battery indicator blinks while the battery charges. The battery indicator stops blinking when the battery is fully
