The AC adapter serves as a converter from AC (Alternating Current) to DC (Direct Current) power because your computer
runs on DC power, but an electrical outlet usually provides AC power. It also charges the battery pack when connected
to AC power.
The adapter operates on any voltage in the range of 100~240 V AC.
Battery Pack
The battery pack is the internal power source for the computer. It is rechargeable using the AC adapter.
The operating time of a fully charged battery pack depends on how you are using the computer. When your applications
often access peripherals, you will experience a shorter operating time.
