Storing a Battery Pack

Ä
CAUTION: To prevent damage to a battery pack, do not expose it to
high temperatures for extended periods of time.
If the notebook will be unused and disconnected from external
power for more than 2 weeks, remove and store the battery pack.
High temperatures, which may be present in parked cars or some
workplaces, accelerate the self-discharge rate of a stored battery
pack. To prolong the charge of a stored battery pack, place it in a
location that is cool and dry.
Calibrate a battery pack that has been stored for one month or
more before using it.
