Storing a battery

CAUTION:

To prevent damage to a battery, do not expose it to high temperatures for extended periods

of time.

If a computer will be unused and unplugged from external power for more than 2 weeks, remove the
battery and store it separately.

To prolong the charge of a stored battery, place it in a cool, dry place.

NOTE:

A stored battery should be checked every 6 months. If the capacity is less than 50 percent,

recharge the battery before returning it to storage.

Calibrate a battery before using it if it has been stored for one month or more.
