Note
HP Smart AC adapter warning message: informs you that as power demands increase, the
notebook may not perform at full capacity, which may result in longer battery-charging time.
In cases of extreme power demands, the system may also throttle back the processor, or
with systems that have a discrete video subsystem, a video balance mode may occur to
further balance the power needs of the system.
Because system processor functions always have priority over battery charging, charging
delays occur first.
