The time required for normal charge depends on the power consumption by the system. Using the fluorescent lamp and frequently accessing the disk consume much power and lengthen the charge time.
Any of the following cases stops battery charge:
1. The battery becomes fully charged.
2. The AC adapter or battery pack is removed.
3. The battery or AC adapter voltage is abnormal.
Detection of full charge
A full charge is detected only when the battery is being charged by quick or normal charge. A full charge is detected when either of the following conditions is met:
1. The current in the battery charging circuit drops below the predetermined value.
2. The charging time exceeds the fixed limit.
