Installing And Removing The Battery Pack - Acer TravelMate 720 User Manual

2. Connect the AC adapter to a power source and to the
computer and fully recharge the battery.
Note: When the computer power is off, the battery pack
recharges faster. You may choose to shutdown your
computer to do so.
3. Disconnect the adapter to use up the battery before
recharging again.
You only need to do this once with a new battery or with a
battery that's been stored without being used for a long
time. If the computer is to be stored for more than two
weeks, we suggest you remove the battery pack. Battery
power from a fully chaged battery pack depletes in roughly
a day with the computer in Standby mode, a month in
Hibernation mode or when power is off.
Warning! Do not expose battery packs to
temperatures below 0ºC (32ºF) or above 60ºC (140ºF).
This may adversely affect the battery pack.
