Charging your New IBM 02K6497 Laptop Battery Before First Use

New batteries for IBM 02K6497 are shipped in a discharged condition and must be charged before use. We generally recommend an overnight charge. Rechargeable 02K6497 Laptop batteries should be cycled -fully charged and then fully discharged - two to four times initially to allow them to reach their full capacity.

Sometimes the device's charger will stop charging a new battery before it is fully charged. If this happens, remove the battery from the device and then reinsert it. The charge cycle should begin again. This may happen several times during the first battery charge. Don't worry; it's perfectly normal.

Would a differen watt AC adapter damage my IBM 02K6497 Laptop?

The amperage rating also does not matter as long as it is higher than the one you are replacing. The most important thing is that the output voltage. Make sure the voltage is exactly the same as your old IBM 02K6497 ac adapter. Take 90W AC adapter for example, it would be better for your 02K6497 laptop as it will be under less stress when charging and would run cooler than a 65w, as long as the voltage is correct that will be fine.
