■
Allow a battery to discharge to about 10 percent of a full
charge through normal use before charging it.
■
Fully charge a battery before turning on the computer.
■
If a battery has been unused for one month or more, calibrate
the battery instead of simply charging it. For calibration
instructions, refer to “
