If you are not using the computer for an extended period of time, remove the

battery pack from the computer to prevent damage to the battery.

❑

You do not need to discharge the battery before recharging.

❑

If you have not used the battery pack for a considerable amount of time,

recharge the battery.

❑

Keep the battery pack in the computer while it is directly connected to AC

power. The battery pack continues to charge while you are using the

computer.

If your battery level falls to less than 10 percent, you should either attach the

❑

AC adapter to recharge the battery or shut down your computer and insert a

fully-charged battery.

not affect battery life.
