Storing a user-replaceable battery
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of damage to a battery, do not expose it to high temperatures for
extended periods of time.
If a computer will be unused and unplugged from external power for more than 2 weeks, remove the
user-replaceable battery and store it separately.
To prolong the charge of a stored battery, place it in a cool, dry place.
NOTE: A stored battery should be checked every 6 months. If the capacity is less than 50 percent,
recharge the battery before returning it to storage.
Calibrate a battery before using it if it has been stored for one month or more.
Disposing of a user-replaceable battery
WARNING! To reduce the risk of fire or burns, do not disassemble, crush, or puncture; do not short
external contacts; do not dispose of in fire or water.
See the Regulatory, Safety and Environmental Notices for proper battery disposal. To access the
user guides, select the HP Support Assistant app on the Start screen, select My computer, and
then select User guides. To access battery information, select the HP Support Assistant app on the
Start screen, and then select Battery and performance.
Replacing a user-replaceable battery
Battery Check notifies you to replace the battery when an internal cell is not charging properly or
when the battery storage capacity has reached a weak condition. If the battery is possibly covered by
an HP warranty, instructions include a warranty ID. A message refers you to the HP website for more
information about ordering a replacement battery.
