Battery Usage Running your system plugged in all the time, or conversely, until the batteries are almost totally drained on a regular basis is not recommended as they can damage the battery’s ability to hold a charge. In general, running the system until both battery indicators are blinking, typically this is when the batteries are down to just below 10% charged, and then fully charging the batteries (full discharge/charge cycle) will ensure the accuracy of the battery status gauges and prolong the batteries' charge efficiency.
Storing the System Long-Term If you don’t plan on using your Sahara Slate PC for more than four months, TabletKiosk recommends that you remove the two Lithium-Ion batteries and store them with approximately a 50% charge. If you store a Lithium-Ion battery when it’s fully discharged, it could fall into a deeply discharged state which renders it incapable of holding any charge.
