34 Operating on battery power Use this process with a new battery or with a battery that's been stored without being used for a long time. If the computer is to be stored for more than two weeks, we suggest you remove the battery pack. Warning! Do not expose battery packs to temperatures below 0ºC (32ºF) or above 60ºC (140ºF). This may adversely affect the battery pack. By following this process you will have conditioned your battery to accept the maximum charge possible. Failure to follow this procedure will not allow you to get the longest possible battery charge from your battery and will also shorten the effective lifespan of your battery. The useful life span of the battery is adversely affected by the following usage patterns: • Using the computer on constant AC power, while the battery is inserted in the notebook. If you are to use the computer on AC power constantly, please remove the battery from the unit after it is fully charged. • Not discharging/recharging the battery to its extremes as explained in "Conditioning a new battery pack" above. • Frequency of use (the more you use the battery, the faster it will reach the end of its effective life cycle). A standard computer battery has a life span of about 500 charges. Installing and removing the battery pack Important! Before removing the battery pack, make sure that you have an AC adapter connected to the computer; otherwise, turn off the computer. To install a battery pack: 1 Align the front end of the battery pack (with the rubber feet) with the front end of the battery bay.
