For safety reasons when
operating under AC Power,
Compaq recommends that
you keep a battery installed.
This also helps to ensure that
you have a charged battery
when you need it.
Temperature plays an
important role in recharging
your battery. To gain maximum
capacity, allow both the battery
and your Notebook to cool to
68 °F (20 °C), which is room
temperature, before recharging
the battery.
You may store your battery
within the following
temperature range: 32 °F to
113 °F (0 °Cto45°C).
To extend its operating life,
store the battery in a cool
dry place.
“Government Approvals”
section of the
Safety and
Comfort Guide
for more
information on recycling.

Li-Ion Battery
– If your Notebook uses a Li-Ion (lithium-ion)
battery and you will not be using your Notebook for a long
period of time (more than two weeks):
•
Use your Notebook until the battery is
drained to 50 percent
.
•
Remove the battery and store it separately.
Recycling the Battery
In North America, dispose of
nickel-metal-hydride or lithium-ion
batteries by taking advantage
of the Compaq battery recycling
program. You will be provided
with a postage-paid battery pack
mailer pre-addressed to a
reclamation facility where the
metals are recycled.
Do not dispose of batteries with general household waste.
Dispose of or recycle them by using a public collection system
or returning them to Compaq, your authorized Compaq partners,
or their agents.
