Temperature plays an
important role in recharging
your battery. To gain maximum
capacity, allow both the battery
and your Notebook to cool to
68°F (20° C), which is room
temperature, before recharging
the battery.
You may store your battery
within the following
temperature range:
32° F to 113° F (0°C to 45°C).
To extend its operating life,
store the battery in a cool,
dry place.
