Battery Packs and Power Management
Reference Guide 3–7
In addition, follow these suggestions to extend the life of your
battery packs:
■Do not leave battery packs unused for long periods. If you
have more than one, rotate them.
■Unplug the AC adapter when the notebook is not in use.
■If the notebook will be unused and unplugged for more than
2 weeks, remove and store the battery pack.
ÄCAUTION: To prevent damage to the 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, place it in a cool, dry location.
■To maintain the accuracy of battery charge displays, calibrate
a battery pack that has been stored for one month or more
before using it.
■Avoid using or charging battery packs at high temperatures.
