Long-term Battery Storage
Don’t store any batteries with a full charge, because this can cause a permanent loss of charging
capacity. For long-term storage, ensure that the charge level is between 20% and 40% (two contiguous
LEDs illuminated), and remove the battery from the tablet. Check stored batteries every 90 days to
determine the charge status. If only one LED or no LED is illuminated, recharge the batteries to a level
between 20% and 40%.
For optimum care, store the battery in a cool, dry environment. Never expose the battery to
temperatures above 60°C (140°F)
Note: In storage, the batteries will self-discharge at a rate of 10% of the total capacity per month.
Disposing of Used Batteries
A Lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery should be disposed of at a hazardous materials recycling center when no
longer serviceable.
