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).
