Storing a battery pack
WARNING! To avoid potential safety issues, use only the battery pack provided with the
computer, a replacement battery pack provided by HP, or a compatible battery pack
purchased as an accessory from HP.
CAUTION To prevent damage to a battery pack, do not expose it to high temperatures for
extended periods of time.
If a computer will be unused and disconnected from external power for more than 2 weeks, remove
the battery pack and store it separately.
To prolong the charge of a stored battery pack, place it in a cool, dry place.
Calibrate a battery pack before using it if it has been stored for one month or more.
