Storing a Battery Pack

If the tablet PC will be unused and unplugged for more than one month, remove and store the battery pack.

ÄCAUTION: To prevent damage to a 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 place.

Use the following table to estimate how long you can safely store a battery pack. The storage times provided are based on a battery pack that contains 50 percent of a full charge. A fully charged battery pack can be safely stored for longer; a battery pack containing a low charge can be safely stored for less time.

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