Storing a Battery Pack
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 a 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, keep
it in a cool, dry place.
Use the following table to estimate how long you can safely store
a battery pack. The storage times provided are based on a battery
pack that contains 50 percent of a full charge. A fully charged
battery pack can be safely stored longer.
