Chapter 03: Battery Usage and Care 23
NOTE: Do not dispose of batteries with household waste. When your
battery no longer holds a charge, call your local waste disposal or
environmental agency for advice on disposing of a lithium-ion or
Lithium Polymer battery.
Real Time Clock Battery
In order to maintain certain system information while the power
is off, the motherboard contains a small built-in battery pack that
constantly supplies power to the system.
If the computer is left without a power source for long periods
of time, this battery can be exhausted and system information
will be lost. This will not affect any of your data stored on the
computer’s hard drive, but rather the settings in the BIOS that
tell the computer how to operate. It is recommended, therefore,
that if you plan to store the computer for a long time you
periodically attach the battery pack, plug in the computer to an
external power source and allow the battery to recharge.
If you find out, after removing the computer from storage, that
you have lost this system information, by receiving a BIOS error
when you boot up for the first time, contact your dealer or visit
TabletKiosk’s website at
www.tabletkiosk.com to obtain the
proper BIOS settings.
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.
