CAUTION To prevent damage to a battery pack, do not expose it to high temperatures for extended periods of time.
If a computer will be unused and disconnected from external power for more than 2 weeks, remove the battery pack and store it separately.
To prolong the charge of a stored battery pack, place it in a cool, dry place.
Calibrate a battery pack before using it if it has been stored for one month or more.
