Chapter 03: Battery Usage and Care
Storing a Battery
When storing your computer for an extended period of time, it is
recommended that you remove the battery pack and store it in
a dry, cool location (Do not freeze). Also, we recommend storing
the battery with a 40 - 50% charge.
If you store the battery when it is fully discharged, it is possible
that the battery could fall into a deeply discharged state. This
can cause the battery to loose its ability to hold any charge at all.
Conversely, storing a fully charged battery can cause damage to
the storage cells rendering its total charge capacity to become
prematurely diminished.
Since a Smart Lithium-Ion battery slowly discharges during
prolonged storage, you should fully recharge the battery before
you use it again. Additionally, you should consider periodically
charging and discharging a battery in long term storage to
promote optimal battery performance and life.
TIP: If storing the batteries for a long period of time, for optimal
battery performance and longevity, we recommend charging and
discharging the batteries every 2 - 3 months. Remember to bring the
charge level to approximately 40 - 50% capacity before replacing into
storage.
