Optimizing battery life
Optimizing battery life helps you get the most out of battery opera-
tion, prolonging the charge/recharge cycle and improving recharging
efficiency. You are advised to follow the suggestions set out below:
•
Purchase an extra battery pack.
•
Use AC power whenever possible, reserving your battery for on-
the-go use.
•
Eject a PC card if it is not being used, as it will continue to draw
power.
•
Store the battery pack in a cool, dry place. The recommended
temperature is 10°C to 30°C. Higher temperatures cause the
battery to self-discharge faster.

Excessive recharging decreases the battery life.
