Battery Pack Guidelines

Optimal Use of the ML910 RUGGED NOTEBOOK Battery

The battery is a consumable product and its performance will gradually degrade based on usage. To minimize battery degradation and ensure longer life, limit the number of charges and ensure the battery is not exposed to high ambient temperatures. If possible, the battery pack should only be recharged when it is nearly fully discharged. It is recommended to store the battery removed from the ML910 RUGGED NOTEBOOK with a nominal charge to prevent the battery from completely discharging. A full charge is recommended if the battery is to be stored in the ML910 RUGGED NOTEBOOK.

For optimal use, users should avoid the following:

•Using battery power for short periods of time and then charging the battery repeatedly.

•Using or storing battery in a high temperature location.

Charging

Charge and discharge time will differ depending on the computer’s power status and temperature. Battery charging time increases when the computer’s power is on and

this is also dependent on the battery’s temperature. To charge the battery more quickly, power off the computer or place it on standby or in the hibernation mode. Battery charging time also increases when in low (below 10ºC, or 50ºF) or high (above 30ºC or 86ºF) temperature environments. During normal charging, (between 32ºF and 113ºF) the battery indicator will glow amber. When full, the indicator will glow green. The ML910 RUGGED NOTEBOOK battery will not be charged if its temperature is outside the allowed range of 0º to 45ºC (32ºF to 113ºF). During this condition, the battery indicator will not be illuminated.

•The battery should be charged within a temperature range of 10°C to 35°C (50°F to 95°F).

When the temperature outdoors is high (35ºC or above), the temperature inside the battery will be higher. Avoid charging the battery where the temperature is high, such as inside a vehicle, with all its windows closed and/or exposed to the hot sun or other places where the ambient temperature is high. Although the battery can also be charged in a temperature of 0ºC, the charging time will take longer and the battery capacity will be greatly reduced.

•It is not recommended to charge the battery more than once per day.

Constant recharging of the battery after every use accelerates battery degradation. To increase battery life, it is recommended to recharge the battery no more than once per day or when the remaining charge drops below 20%. To increase battery life, the computer will not charge the battery immediately after it has been fully charged unless the remaining charge has fallen to less than 95%.
