Storing a user-replaceable battery

CAUTION:

To reduce the risk of 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 in a cool, dry place to prolong the battery charge.

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.
