power until the battery pack fully discharges.
If the device is leaking or its case is cracked, put on
protective gloves to handle it.
Always immediately turn the power off and disconnect
the power cable/cord plug from the plug socket and stop
using the computer if you observe any of the following
conditions:

Excessive heat
