recharging again.
You only need to do this once or twice with a new battery or
with a battery that's been stored without being used for a
long time. If the computer is to be stored for more than two
weeks, we suggest you remove the battery pack. Battery
power from a fully charged battery pack depletes in roughly
a day with the computer in Standby mode, a month in
Hibernation mode or when power is off.
Installing and Removing the Battery Pack
To install a battery pack, slide it into the battery
compartment, then latch the battery compartment cover.
Reverse the steps to remove the battery pack.
Warning! Do not expose battery packs to
temperatures below 0ºC (32ºF) or above 60ºC (140ºF).
This may adversely affect the battery pack.
Important!
Before removing the battery pack, make sure
that you have an AC adapter connected to the computer;
otherwise turn off the computer.
