Storage
1. Storing the Duo-Touch II for five (5) days or less
a. Install the battery pack and connect the Duo-Touch II to external power and allow the battery pack to
fully charge. The charging LED will be solid orange while charging and green when battery charging
is complete.
b. Shut down the Duo-Touch II and store in a cool, dry location.
2. Storing the Duo-Touch II for longer than five (5) days.
a. Lithium Ion batteries can be permanently damaged if the Duo-Touch II is stored for extended periods
requiring battery replacement.
b. If the computer will be stored for more than 5 days, backup files and data, fully charge the battery, and
then discharge it to 40% and remove the battery.
c. The Duo-Touch II and battery should be stored in a cool, dry location.
3. When storing Li-Ion battery packs for extended periods, consider these factors
a. Fully charged Li-Ion battery packs deteriorate faster than partly discharged ones. For ideal storage,
charge the packs to 100% and then discharge them to a 40% charge before storage.
b. Do not allow stored Li-Ion packs to discharge completely, as this may permanently damage them.
Stored packs should be recharged to 40% capacity every six (6) months.
c. Storing packs at temperatures near 0°C (45°F) slows down self-discharge and battery aging; packs that
are stored for a long period should be kept at low temperatures where practical.
NOTE
Store batteries as close as practical to 0°C (45°F) without allowing the batteries to freeze or reach 0°C
(32°F).
d. If you store battery packs at normal ambient temperatures, use the following charge policy to maintain
