HP 80XL458 manual Recycling the Battery

For safety reasons when operating under AC Power, Compaq recommends that you keep a battery installed. This ensures that you have a charged battery when you need it.

Temperature plays an important role in recharging your battery. To gain maximum capacity, allow both the battery and your Notebook to cool to 68 °F (20 °C), which is room temperature, before recharging the battery.

You may store your battery within the following temperature range:

32 °F to 113 °F (0 °C to 45 °C). To extend its operating life, store the battery in a cool dry place.

“Government Approvals” section of the Safety and Comfort Guide for more information on recycling.

Refer to the following storage requirements.

Li-Ion Battery – If your Notebook uses a Li-Ion (lithium-ion) battery and you will not be using your Notebook for a long period of time (more than two weeks):

•Use your Notebook until the battery is drained to 50 percent.

•Remove the battery and store it separately.

Recycling the Battery

In North America, dispose of nickel-metal-hydride or lithium-ion batteries by taking advantage

of the Compaq battery recycling program. You will be provided with a postage-paid battery pack mailer pre-addressed to a reclamation facility where the metals are recycled.

Do not dispose of batteries with general household waste. Dispose of or recycle them by using a public collection system or returning them to Compaq, your authorized Compaq partners, or their agents.
