5Fully deplete the battery until the battery-low warning appears.

6Reconnect the AC adapter and fully charge the battery again.

Follow these steps again until the battery has been charged and discharged three times.

Use this conditioning process for all new batteries, or if a battery hasn't been used for a long time. If the computer is to be stored for more than two weeks, you are advised to remove the battery pack from the unit.

Warning: do not expose battery packs to temperatures below 0°C (32°F) or above 60°C (140°F). Extreme temperatures may adversely affect the battery pack.

By following the battery conditioning process you condition your battery to accept the maximum possible charge. Failure to follow this procedure will prevent you from obtaining the maximum battery charge, and will also shorten the effective lifespan of the battery.

In addition, the useful lifespan of the battery is adversely affected by the following usage patterns:

•Using the computer on constant AC power with the battery inserted. If you want to use constant AC power, you are advised to remove the battery pack after it is fully charged.

•Not discharging and recharging the battery to its extremes, as described above.

•Frequent use; the more you use the battery, the faster it will reach the end of its effective life. A standard computer battery has a lifespan of about 500 charges.
