On using the battery pack

￿

Never leave the battery pack in temperatures above 60° C, such as in a car parked in the sun or under

 

direct sunlight.

Battery life is shorter in a cold environment. This is due to decreased battery efficiency at low

 

temperatures.

Charge the batteries at temperatures between 10° C to 30° C. Lower temperatures require a longer

 

charging time.

While the battery is in use or being discharged, the battery pack heats up. This is normal and is not cause

 

for concern.

If you are not using the computer for an extended period of time, remove the battery pack from the

 

computer to prevent damage to the battery.

the end of its life and should be replaced.
