Disposing of your computer
Maintaining your battery
Fully discharging your battery pack will allow better accuracy
of the battery meter.
To fully discharge your battery pack:
❖Periodically, disconnect the computer from a power
source and operate it on battery power until the battery
pack fully discharges.
❖If you have extra battery packs, rotate their use (for
models with an accessible battery only).
❖If you will not be using the system for an extended
period, more than one month, remove the battery pack
(for models with an accessible battery only).
❖Store spare battery packs in a cool dry place out of
direct sunlight (for models with an accessible battery
only).
