Taking Care of Your Battery Pack

Here are some ways to take care of your battery pack:

Use only batteries of the same kind as replacements. Turn the power off
before removing or replacing batteries.

Do not tamper with batteries. Keep them away from children.

• Handle batteries carefully. Do not try to disassemble, crush, puncture,

open, drop, mutilate, short external contacts, disposed of in water or fire,
or expose it to temperatures higher than 60 C.

• Recharge batteries only as described in this manual and only in ventilated

areas. Never use an external charger other than the one supplied with your

notebook computer.

• Do not leave batteries in hot locations for more than a day or two.
• Do not leave your battery in your notebook computer for longer than 1

month without plugging in the power adapter.

Do not leave battery in storage for more than 2 months without recharging

it to prevent over discharge. Over discharge will hurt the battery either.

• Dispose of used batteries according to local regulations. Recycle if at all

possible.
