How to Store Batteries When Not in Use
The following storage tips will help you optimize the capacity and performance of your batteries.
Short-Term Storage
• If your X7 will not be in use for 7-30 days, it is recommended that the batteries first be
charged and then removed from the computer for short-term storage.
• Batteries can be stored at temperatures of 32ºF to 95ºF (0ºC to 35ºC) and a humidity of
45-85%
• When possible, store them in a cool dry place at room temperature or below. The best
place to store them is in a refrigerator at a temperature of 35 - 40°F.
• Do not leave batteries in direct sunlight or in any other unusually hot location. A battery
will deteriorate more quickly if stored in high temperatures such as a vehicle in the hot
sun.
• Protect the battery contacts from accidentally touching other battery contacts or any
metal objects to prevent a short circuit and possible arcing or explosion.
Long-Term Storage
• If your X7 will not be in use for 30 days or longer, the batteries should be placed in long-
term storage.
• Prepare the batteries for storage by placing them in the computer with external power
disconnected and allow the charge to drop to 40%.
• LiION batteries self discharge at the rate of about 10% per month. While in long-term
storage, you should recharge the batteries every 3-4 months to a charge level of 40%.
• To check a battery’s remaining charge, insert it in the X7, power up the unit and select
the Battery Monitor button from the ARMORutils main window.
Battery Tips for Best Performance
• Recharge a battery within 24 hours of a full discharge. Batteries remaining in a fully
discharged state longer than 24 hours may deteriorate more quickly.
• Battery charging should be done at temperatures between 32°F (0°C) to 95°F (35°C),
but preferably at room temperature. The battery could deteriorate more quickly when
charged at high temperatures.
• When operating your ARMOR X7 on external power for extended periods of time (1
week or longer), it’s best to remove the batteries and store them in a cool place until
needed.
• If batteries are removed for longer than 30 days, refer to
