The b attery shou ld be stored in a dry environment at a tempe rature between 0°C / 32°F an d
30°C / 86°F. The lower the storage temperature, the lower the rate of self-discharge.
If you will be storing batteries for a longer pe riod (more than two m o nths),
the battery 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 i ntervals.
To be able to make use of the optimum capacity of the battery, you should allow
the battery to fully discharge and then recharge it.
If you do not use the batteries for long periods, remove them from the
Tablet PC. Never store b atteries in the device!
