Storing and Recharging NEOs

Rechargeable batteries that aren't used over time lose their charge and need
to be fully charged again before being used.
If the batteries lose too much charge while in storage (which can happen if
you store your NEO for longer than you intended), the batteries themselves
may become damaged, which in turn can damage the NEO.
Important: If you're going to store your NEO for a month or longer, charge
the batteries before you store it, and then charge them again after you take
the NEO out of storage to compensate for the batteries' self-discharge.

Lifetime of the Rechargeable Batteries

Well-maintained rechargeable batteries last about 500 charges, or about
three years. If your battery charge lasted forty hours in the past, but now it
lasts only one hour, you need a new battery pack, which you can purchase
from our Web site.
If your batteries have run down, and you don't have an AC adapter, you can
still connect your NEO to your computer and transfer the data in your files
while the computer provides power to your NEO. You can also temporarily
switch to AA alkaline batteries until you can obtain a new rechargeable
battery pack.
