Guidelines for safe battery usage
Precautions when charging batteries
The useful lifespan of a battery is adversely affected by the following
behavior:
• Constantly charging the battery/device when already at full capacity.
• Charging the battery/device at temperatures above 35 °C (95 °F)
or
belo
w 0 °C (32 °F).
To prevent damage, follow these precautions:
• Stop charging the battery once it reaches 100% capacity; regular
ly
or
frequently charging a fully charged battery for an extended pe
riod
of
time may cause battery deformation or damage. We r
ecommend
that
you recharge the device when the battery level drops below
70% capacity.
• Do not charge battery in temperatures above 35 °C (95 °F) or b
elow
0 °C
(32 °F). Charging in abnormally high or abnorma
lly low
temp
eratures can cause battery deformation or damage.
• The charging port must be clean and free from debris and shoul
d
only
be used with Acer charging equipment. Use of a non
-Acer
battery
or charging equipment can cause damage to the prod
uct
and will void
the warranty.
• If you plan to store the device for a long period of time, turn-off
the
device,
remove AC power and store the product at roo
m
temp
erature (0 °C - 35 °C) in a dry (humidity: 45% - 80%), well-
ventilated area. Avoid direct sunlight, high temperatures and h
igh
humidity
. Do not leave your device’s battery completely dischar
ged
for
a long period of time; this may cause battery deformation o
r
dama
ge. We recommend that the battery is checked and charged to
approximately 50% capacity every 6 months.
When using a charging cart or a small space to simultaneously charge
or operate multiple devices , the area must be well- ventilated and the
temperature kept between 0 °C (32 °F) to 35 °C (95 °F) and battery
charging must be stopped when 100% capacity is reached.
Continuous charging can cause deformation or damage to the battery/
device.
