Extending The Battery Usage Time - Samsung N128 User Manual

Battery Usage Time Information
A battery is an expendable supply, so when
using it over a long time, the capacity/battery
life is shortened. If the battery life is reduced
to under half of its initial time, we recommend
purchasing a new battery.
For long periods of not using the battery,
keep the battery after discharging it. This
extends the battery life time.

When charging/discharging the battery
repeatedly for a short time only, the battery
usage time may be reduced by the difference
between the actual battery charge and the
remaining charge display.
In this case, the actual battery charge and
the remaining charge display will be the
same by discharging the battery completely
using the Battery Calibration function, and
then recharging it again.
