Taking care of your battery

Charge the battery pack until the battery light glows 
blue.
If you have extra battery packs, rotate their use.
If you will not be using the system for an extended 
period, more than one month, remove the battery pack.
Disconnect the AC adaptor when the battery is fully 
charged. Overcharging makes the battery hot and 
shortens its life.
If you are not going to use the computer for more than 
eight hours, disconnect the AC adaptor.
Store spare battery packs in a cool dry place out of direct 
sunlight.
Disposing of used batteries
When a battery pack nears the end of its life, its ability to 
hold a charge will decrease. When the battery pack needs to 
be replaced, the main 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 battery pack 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 battery pack 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.
Always use the battery pack supplied as an accessory or an 
equivalent battery pack specified in the User's Manual. Other battery 
packs have different voltage and terminal polarities. Use of non-
conforming battery packs could generate smoke or cause fire or 
rupture, possibly resulting in serious injury.
After repeated use, batteries will finally lose their ability to 
hold a charge and you will need to replace them. Under 
certain applicable laws, it may be illegal to dispose of old 
batteries by placing them in the trash.
