Re: Thinkpad battery/charge question

[Michael Redmond <redmond@engr.wisc.edu>]

You may want to make sure you've turned the 'On/Off" switch on your battery
to "On". My thinkpad battery is supposedly "smart" and needs to be turned on
from a no-charge state in order to keep proper info on status. See your
manual under the battery section to verify this.

Thanks
