BATTERIES

Caring for your Batteries
Always handle batteries carefully.
■
Do not short-circuit the battery terminals (that is, do
■
not touch both terminals with a metal object). Do not
carry lose batteries in a pocket or purse where they may
mix with coins, keys, or other metal objects. Doing so
may cause an explosion or fire.
Do not drop, puncture, disassemble, mutilate or incin-
■
erate the battery.
Recharge batteries only as described in this manual and
■
only in ventilated areas.
Do not leave batteries in hot locations for more than a
■
day or two. Intense heat can shorten battery life.
Do not leave a battery in storage for longer than 6
■
months without recharging it.
Increasing Battery Life
Power your LifeBook notebook through the AC or
■
optional auto/airline adapter whenever possible.
If your notebook runs on battery power all day, connect
■
it to the AC adapter overnight to recharge the battery.
