Refer to Battery Tips for charging temperature and other recommendations
•
If you charge your battery daily, rely on the gas gauge reading to determine battery capacity. The gas
gauge may show that the battery is full, but charging continues. This happens because the charging
process is trying to put a little more capacity into the battery. External power can be removed at this
time since the battery is virtually full.
•
If your battery is new or has not been used for several weeks, rely on the indicator light to determine
when the battery is fully charged. The gas gauge is unreliable in these cases; it may read 100%,
when the actual capacity is only 10%.
