Storing a battery
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of damage to a battery, do not expose it to high temperatures for extended
periods of time.
If a computer will be unused and unplugged from external power for more than 2 weeks, remove the user-
replaceable battery and store it separately.
To prolong the charge of a stored battery, place it in a cool, dry place.
NOTE: A stored battery should be checked every 6 months. If the capacity is less than 50 percent, recharge
the battery before returning it to storage.
Calibrate a battery before using it if it has been stored for one month or more.
Disposing of a battery
WARNING! To reduce the risk of fire or burns, do not disassemble, crush, or puncture; do not short external
contacts; do not dispose of in fire or water.
See the Regulatory, Safety and Environmental Notices for proper battery disposal.

Replacing a battery
HP Battery Check notifies you to replace the battery when an internal cell is not charging properly or when
the battery storage capacity has reached a weak condition. If the battery is possibly covered by an HP
warranty, instructions include a warranty ID. A message refers you to the HP website for more information
about ordering a replacement battery.
