Heat damage to your
Lithium ion battery
Extended exposure to heat will have a
negative impact on your battery. Do not
expose your notebook to excessive heat
such as leaving it in the car on a hot
summer day. If you are near an outlet
and playing a graphics-intensive game,
it is recommended that you remove the
battery from the unit to avoid exposing
it to excessive heat.
Discharging your battery
Full battery discharges (to unit shut-
down or 0%) should be avoided. It is
recommended that batteries only be
partially discharged to levels of
20-30% before recharging.
Prolonged storage
If your notebook isn't going to be
used for a while, you should remove
its Lithium ion battery. To store a bat-
tery for long periods of time, its charge
capacity should be around 40% and
store it in a cool dry place.
Purchasing a replacement
battery
Only purchase a replacement battery
from Fujitsu. Ensure that you purchase a
battery that is specifically designed for
your model computer. It is recommend-
ed that you purchase a replacement
battery only when the current battery
has noticeably degraded; unused bat-
teries will still suffer degradation when
stored.
