You must charge the battery before using it. For optimal battery life, charge the battery within three months of receipt.

Warning: The battery might explode if placed on a different charger.

Take the battery out of the printer when storing the printer for a month or longer and connect it to the Battery Backup Power.

The optimal battery storage temperature is 50°F – 73°F (10°C – 23°C), with a maximum of 104°F (40°C). The battery may lose its charge capacity permanently if stored at temperatures less than 32°F (0°C) or greater than 104°F (40°C). For longest life, the battery should be stored in a cool, dry place.

The operating temperature for the battery is the same as for the printer. See Appendix A, “Specifications and Accessories,” for more information.

The recommended charging temperature is 68°F – 77°F (20°C – 25°C)

Caution: Do not disassemble, short-circuit, heat above 80°C, or incinerate the battery. It may explode.

Do not let the battery come into contact with metal objects.

Do not let the battery get wet.

It is normal for battery capacity to decrease up to 20% over the first 300 cycles of use.

The battery should be charged before long-term storage or after the battery has been exhausted from a printing session. Frequent charging actually prolongs battery life and has no negative effects such as memory issues.
