104 Power Management Taking care of your battery When you need to replace the main battery, use an identical battery from the same manufacturer. Maximizing battery life If you're not going to use the computer for a long period, remove the battery pack. Alternate between battery packs if you have a spare. Make sure your computer is turned off when you're replacing the battery pack. Store spare battery packs in a cool dry place out of direct sunlight. Disposing of used batteries safely The life of a battery pack is over 1000 recharges, so it should last for years. When the battery pack needs replacing, the main battery light flashes amber shortly after you have fully recharged the battery. You must discard a battery pack if it has become damaged. The battery can explode if it is not disposed of properly. So don't simply throw it away. Putting spent batteries in the trash is not only irresponsible, it may also be illegal. Your company may have a procedure for disposing of used batteries safely. Otherwise, the materials that came with your computer may include an insert regarding the disposal of batteries. If not, check with your local government for information on where to recycle or dispose of old batteries. If you cannot find the information you need, contact your network administrator for assistance.
