Storing Battery Packs
When storing the computer for more than two weeks, remove the
battery packs and store them separately to reduce the discharge
rate and increase battery life.
Battery packs self-discharge even when they are not being used.
The rate of self-discharge is affected by temperature. To prolong
battery charge, store batteries in a cool, dry place. High
temperatures cause battery packs to lose their charge more
quickly, thus reducing battery life.
