Storing a Battery Pack

ÄCAUTION: To prevent damage to a battery pack, do not expose it to high temperatures for extended periods of time.

If the notebook will be unused and disconnected from external power for more than 2 weeks, remove and store the battery pack in a location that is cool and dry.

High temperatures, which may be present in parked cars or some workplaces, accelerate the self-discharge rate of a stored battery pack. To prolong the charge of a stored battery pack, place it in a location that is cool and dry.

Calibrate a battery pack that has been stored for one month or more before using it.

Disposing of a Used Battery Pack

ÅWARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or burns, do not disassemble, crush, or puncture a battery pack; short the external contacts on a battery pack; or dispose of a battery pack in fire or water. Do not expose a battery pack to high temperatures above 60°C (140°F). Replace only with a battery pack approved for this computer.

NWhen a battery pack has reached the end of its useful life, do not dispose of the battery pack in general household waste. Follow the local laws and regulations in your area for computer battery pack disposal.

In Europe, dispose of or recycle the battery packs by using the public collection system or by returning them to HP, your authorized service partner, or their agents.
