Caring for your Batteries
• Always handle batteries carefully.
• Do not short-circuit the battery terminals (that is, do not touch both terminals with a metal object).
Do not carry lose batteries in a pocket or purse where they may mix with coins, keys, or other metal
objects. Doing so may cause an explosion or fire.
• Do not drop, puncture, disassemble, mutilate or incinerate the battery.
• Recharge batteries only as described in this manual and only in ventilated areas.
• Do not leave batteries in hot locations for more than a day or two; doing so heat can shorten the
battery life.
• Do not leave a battery in storage for longer than 6 months without recharging it.
Increasing Battery Life
• Power your notebook through the AC or optional auto/airline adapter whenever possible.
