The notebook battery can only be c harged, wh en the amb ient temperature
is between 5°C and max. 35°C.
You can charge the battery by connecting the notebook to the mains adapter

Keep the batte ry pack between 0°C and +30°C . The lower the temperature at which
the batteries are stored, the lower the rate of self-discharge.
If you will be storing ba tteries fo r a longer period (longer than two months),
the b attery charge level should be approx. 30 % . To prevent exhaustive
discharge which would permanently damage the battery, check the level
of charge of the battery at regular intervals.
To be able to make use of the optimal charging capacity of the batteries, the battery
should be completely discharged and then fully recharged.
If you do not u se the batteries for long periods, remove them from the
notebook. Never store the batteries in the device.
