Storing the battery
Keep the battery pack between 0°C and +30°C (32 and 122 degrees Fahrenheit). The lower the
temperature at which the batteries are stored, the lower is the rate of self-discharge.
If you store rechargeable batteries for a longer period (longer than two months), the battery charge
level should be approx. 30%. To prevent exhaustive discharge, check the charging level of the
batteries at regular intervals.
i
If you do not use batteries for long periods, remove them from the notebook.
Never store batteries in the unit.
Monitoring the battery charging level
With the battery charging indicator you can check the remaining battery capacity (see "Status
indicators"). When you switch on the device, it takes a few seconds before the battery status is
displayed.
Windows includes a "battery charge meter" for monitoring the battery capacity. This can be activated
under Start - (Settings) - Control Panel - Power Options. The battery charge meter is then displayed in
the task bar as a battery symbol. When you place the mouse pointer on the battery symbol, the
system displays the battery status. Further information may be found in the operating system help.
