Compaq 800 manual Recycling the Battery

Tip

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

Tip

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.

Tip

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.

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.
