Battery storage
BatteryBatterySelf-discharge,batteryChargingcapacity,ba ttery
Keep the battery pack between 0°C and +30°C. The lower the temperature a t which
the batteries are stored, the lower the r ate of self-discharge.
If you will be storing batteries for a longer period (longer than two months),
the battery charge level should be approx. 30 %. To prevent exhaustive
discharge which would permanen tly dam age the battery, check the level
of charge of the battery at regu lar intervals.
To be able to make use of the optimal charging capacity of the batteries, the battery
should be completely discharged and then fully recharged.
If you do not use the batteries for long periods, rem ove them from the
notebook. N ever store the ba tteries in the device.
