Battery Maintenance and Storage
Maintaining Batteries
Follow these guidelines to maintain performance of Lithium-Ion (Li-on) batteries.
• Avoid exposing batteries to extremely hot or cold temperatures for long periods. To prevent possible damage
to the battery, the Duo-Touch II does not allow the battery to charge if the internal temperature of the battery
gets too low (< 5°C or < 41°F) or too high (> 50°C or > 122°F).
• Charge the battery nightly where the temperature will remain around 20°C (68°F).
• Re-calibrate your battery every three months or when your battery performance degrades.
Storing Batteries
• Store the battery within the recommended temperature range: 10°C to 30°C (50°F to 86°F).
• Unused or stored batteries can lose power over time. When you install a battery that has not been used for
awhile, connect external power to the computer and charge the battery.
• After storage, battery calibration may increase its capacity.
