In such cases the battery requires re-charging or replacing. There are 3 major types of laptop batteries - Nickel Cadmium (NiCd), Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) and Lithium Ion (LiON). They differ in price, weight and specific features. Nonetheless, the charging processes have a lot in common. All brand new batteries are to be charged on average 14-16 hours. If you want to re-charge old ones, at first let them cool off, since overcharging can considerably decrease their life.
