Battery Packs and Power Management
Startup Guide 3–5
In addition, follow these suggestions to extend the life of your
battery packs:
■ Do not leave battery packs unused for long periods. If you
have more than one, rotate them.
■ Unplug the AC adapter when the notebook is not in use.
■ If the notebook will be unused and unplugged for more than
2 weeks, remove and store the battery pack.
Ä
CAUTION: 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.
