[Ti] During the recall

[Kynan Shook]

It will, eventually.  The internal battery is enough for several  
minutes to several hours of sleep (depending on the model), or  
probably several days while shut down.  It is rechargeable; the  
recommended procedure to charge it is to charge the main battery,  
then leave the computer plugged in for 24 hours.

However, is there any particular reason to NOT leave it plugged in?   
It might help prolong the life of the internal battery - they don't  
die often, but it can happen...  And it's not as easy to get replaced  
as the internal batteries used on a desktop Mac; the batteries are  
custom, and sometimes come permanently attached to the circuit board  
for the PMU.
