90 Mobile Computing Disposing of used batteries Maintaining your battery Fully discharging your battery pack will allow better accuracy of the battery meter. To fully discharge your battery pack: ❖ Periodically, disconnect the computer from a power source and operate it on battery power until the battery pack fully discharges. ❖ If you have extra battery packs, rotate their use (for models with an accessible battery only). ❖ If you will not be using the system for an extended period, more than one month, remove the battery pack (for models with an accessible battery only). ❖ Store spare battery packs in a cool dry place out of direct sunlight (for models with an accessible battery only). Disposing of used batteries The life of a battery pack depends on usage. When the battery pack needs replacing, the battery light flashes amber shortly after you have fully recharged the battery. You must discard a battery if it becomes damaged. Never attempt to dispose of a computer by burning or by throwing it into a fire, and never allow exposure to a heating apparatus (e.g., microwave oven). Heat can cause a computer to explode and/or release caustic liquid, both which may possibly cause serious injury. Always dispose of used battery packs in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. Put insulating tape, such as cellophane tape, on the electrode during transportation to avoid a possible short circuit, fire or electric shock. Failure to do so could possibly result in serious injury.
