The notebook battery can only be charged, when the ambient temperature
is between 5°C and max. 35°C.
You can charge the battery by connecting the notebook to the mains adapter

Battery storage
BatteryBatterySelf-discharge,batteryChargingcapacity,battery
Keep the battery pack between 0°C and +30°C. The lower the temperature at which
the batteries are stored, the lower the rate of se lf-discharge.
If yo u will be storing batteries fo r a longer period (longer than two months),
the battery charge level shou ld be approx. 30 %. To prevent exhaustive
discharge which would permanently damage the battery, check the level
of charge of the battery at regular intervals.
To be able to make use of the optimal chargi n g capacity of the batteries, the battery
should be completely disch arged and then fully recharged.
If you do not use the batteries for long periods, remove them from the
notebook. N ever store the batteries in the device.
