Important Notes on Using Battery Pack
Recharging and Discharging
•Recharging will not start if the battery’s temperature is below 0°C (32°F) or above 40°C (104°F). Also, during recharging, the recharging will stop if the battery’s temperature gets above 60°C (140°F). To avoid problems caused by temperatures, make sure the battery is not too hot before you begin to recharge the battery.
•During recharging, do not disconnect the AC adapter before the battery has been fully charged; otherwise you will get a prematurely charged battery.
•After the notebook has been fully recharged, do not immediately disconnect and reconnect the AC adapter to charge it again. Doing so may damage the battery.
•Do not leave the battery completely discharged for too long as this may affect the battery’s performance.
