Useful Battery Life
The removable battery pack is rated to remain useful for at least 300
cycles of charging and discharging. Beyond this time, the battery will
become less efficient and progressively begin to store less charge. When
you notice that your battery begins to hold less charge, replace it with a
new Compaq-approved battery pack.
Battery Disposal
Because of the type of batteries used in your Compaq Aero 2100 Series,
follow local regulations regarding the safe disposal of batteries. Your
Compaq vendor can advise you on local regulations, and/or the existence
of any battery disposal programs in operation.
In North America, dispose of lithium-ion batteries by taking advantage of
the Compaq battery recycling program. You will be provided with a
postage-paid battery pack mailer preaddressed to a reclamation facility
where the metals are recycled.
Batteries/battery packs and accumulators should not be disposed of
together with the general household waste. In order to forward them to
recycling or proper disposal, please use the public collection system or
return them to Compaq, your authorized Compaq partners, or their agents.
Some important points to remember are:
There is a danger of explosion and risk of personal injury if the battery
is incorrectly replaced or mistreated.
Do not attempt to disassemble the battery, immerse it in water or
dispose of it in fire.
Replace only with the battery designated for this product.
Discard used batteries according to the manufacturer's instructions.
