Charging Recommendations
Your NOOK contains a rechargeable battery. To maximize battery life:
• Avoid fully discharging the battery. Charge your NOOK after several hours of use or when you see the low
charge alert, rather than continuing to use it until it turns itself o.
• Avoid high temperatures for charging, use, and storage. For more information, see “Temperature Ranges.”
• Charge the battery half way before storing your NOOK for a week or more.
