Panasonic Toughbook SX2 Operating Instructions Manual page 9

The battery pack is not charged when the computer is
first purchased. Be sure to charge it before using it for
the first time. When the AC adaptor is connected to the
computer, charging begins automatically.
Should the battery leak and the fluid get into your
eyes, do not rub your eyes. Immediately flush your
eyes with clear water and see a doctor for medical
treatment as soon as possible.
NOTE
The battery pack may become warm during recharging
or normal use. This is completely normal.
Recharging will not commence if internal temperature
of the battery pack is outside of the allowable tempera-
ture range (0 °C to 55 °C {32 °F to 131 °F})
( Reference Manual "Battery Power"). Once the
allowable range requirement is satisfied, charging
begins automatically. Note that the recharging time
varies based on the usage conditions. (Recharging
takes longer than usual when the temperature is 10 °C
{50 °F} or below.)
If the temperature is low, the operating time is shortened. Only
use the computer within the allowable temperature range.
This computer has a high temperature mode function that
prevents the degradation of the battery in high tempera-
ture environments. (
Power") A level corresponding to a 100% charge for high
temperature mode is approximately equivalent to an 80%
charge level for normal temperature mode.
The battery pack is a consumable item. If the amount
of time the computer can be run by using a particular
battery pack becomes dramatically shorter and
repeated recharging does not restore its performance,
the battery pack should be replaced with a new one.
When transporting a spare battery inside a package,
briefcase, etc., it is recommended that it be placed in a
plastic bag so that its contacts are protected.
Always power off the computer when it is not in use.
Leaving the computer on when the AC adaptor is not
connected will exhaust the remaining battery capacity
( Reference Manual "LAN").
