Battery Packs Storing a Battery Pack If a notebook will be unused and unplugged for more than 2 weeks, remove and store any battery packs. Ä CAUTION: To prevent damage to a battery pack, do not expose it to high temperatures for extended periods of time. High temperatures, which may be present in parked cars or some workplaces, accelerate the self-discharge rate of a stored battery pack. To prolong the charge of a stored battery pack, place it in a cool, dry place. Use the following table to estimate how long you can safely store a battery pack. The storage times provided are based on a battery pack that contains 50 percent of a full charge. A fully charged battery pack can be safely stored for longer times; a battery pack containing a lower charge can be safely stored for less time. Calibrate a battery pack that has been stored for 1 month or more before using it. At These Temperatures Temperature Temperature Range °F Range °C 115°-140° 46°-60° 79°-113° 26°-45° 32°-77° 0°-25° You Can Safely Store a Battery Pack for This Time Storage Time Less than 1 month No more than 3 months 1 year Hardware Guide 3-17
