Storing a Battery Pack
Proper storage procedures reduce the self-discharge rate of a
battery pack.
CAUTION:
To prevent permanent damage to a battery pack, do not
expose it to high temperatures for extended periods of time.
If the computer will be unused and unplugged from an external
power source for more than two weeks, remove and store the
battery pack(s).
Store a battery pack in a cool, dry place. High temperatures reduce
the life of a battery pack and increase its rate of self-discharge.
