Battery storing
Self-discharge,battery Battery: Chargingcapacity,battery Battery:
Keep the battery pack between 0 °C and +30 °C (32 and 122 degrees Fahrenheit). The lower
the temperature at which the batteries are stored, the lower the rate of self-discharge.
If you store rechargeable batteries for a longer period (longer than two months), the
battery charge level should be approx. 30 %. To prevent exhaustive discharge, check
the charging level of the batteries at regular intervals.
If you do not use batteries for long periods, remove them from the notebook.
Never store batteries in the unit.

Monitoring the battery charging level

Battery: Batterystatusmeter
The charge level of the battery is indicated with the battery charging indicator (refer also to
the EasyGuide for more information about the status indicators). When you switch on the
device, it takes a few seconds before the battery status is displayed.
Batterystatusmeter
Windows includes a "Current charge status indicator" for monitoring the battery capacity. This can
be activated under Start - (Settings) - Control Panel - Power Options (Windows XP) or Start - (Settings) -
Control Panel - Mobile PC - Power Options (Windows Vista). The indicator is then displayed in the task
bar as a battery symbol. When you place the mouse pointer on the battery symbol, the system
displays the battery status. Further information may be found in the operating system help.
