Note: The computer must be connected to the power adapter when the hybrid power supply is enabled. When the hybrid power supply is enabled, the power adapter and the battery pack work together to power the computer. Then, you may note that the power level of the battery pack becomes lower. When the hybrid power supply is disabled, the power adapter resumes charging the battery pack.
