When not plugged into a power outlet, the notebook runs on its built-in battery. You
can increase the life of the battery by caring for the battery properly. The average
battery life is arou nd 500 charge/discharge cycles.
You can extend the battery life by taking advantage of the available energy saving functions.
Charging, caring for and maintaining the battery

The notebook battery can only be charged, when the amb ient temperature

Battery storage
BatteryBatterySelf-discharge,batteryChargingcapacity,ba tter y
Keep the battery pack between 32° F and 86° F/ 0°C and +30°C. The low er the temperature
at which the batteries are stored, the lower the rate of self-d ischarge.
If you w ill be storing batteries fo r a longer period (longer than tw o m onths),
the battery charge level should be approx. 30 %. To prevent exhaustive
discharge which wo uld permanently damage the battery, check the level
of charge of the battery at regular intervals.
To be able to make use of the optimal charging capacity of the batteries, the battery
should be completely discharged and then fully recharged.
If you do not use the batteries for long periods, remove them from th e
notebook. Never store the batteries in the device.
