Battery Packs and Power Management
Reference Guide 3–7
To preserve the life of a battery pack, be sure to charge it
regularly.
If the notebook will be unused and unplugged for more than
2 weeks, remove and store the battery pack.
Ä
To prevent damage to the battery pack, do not expose it to
high temperatures for extended periods of time.
High temperatures accelerate the self-discharge rate of a
stored battery pack. To prolong the charge of a stored battery
pack, place it in a cool, dry location.
To maintain the accuracy of battery charge displays, calibrate
a battery pack that has been stored for one month or more
before using it.
Avoid using or charging battery packs at high temperatures.
