Battery Maintenance and Storage

Maintaining Batteries

Follow these guidelines to maintain performance of Lithium-Ion (Li-on) batteries.



Avoid exposing batteries to extremely hot or cold temperatures for long periods. To prevent

possible damage to the battery, the GoBook II does not allow the battery to charge if the internal

temperature of the battery gets too low (< 5°C or < 41°F) or too high (> 50°C or > 122°F).



Charge the battery nightly where the temperature will remain around 20°C (68°F).



Re-calibrate your battery when your battery performance degrades.

Storing Batteries



Store the battery within the recommended temperature range: 10°C to 30°C (50°F to 86°F).



Unused or stored batteries can lose power over time. When you install a battery that has not been

used for awhile, connect external power

to the computer and charge the battery.



After storage, battery calibration may increase its capacity.
