Storing a Battery Pack
Ä
CAUTION: To prevent damage to a battery pack, do not expose it to
high temperatures for extended periods of time.
If a notebook will be unused and disconnected from external
power for more than 2 weeks, remove any battery packs and store
them separately.
To prolong the charge of a stored battery pack, place it in a cool,
dry place.
Use the following table to estimate how long you can safely store
a battery pack. The storage times provided are based on a battery
pack that contains 50 percent of a full charge. A fully charged
battery pack can be safely stored for longer times; a battery pack
containing a lower charge can be safely stored for less time.
Calibrate a battery pack before using it if it has been stored for
one month or more.
