Optimising your use of the battery
Your Netbook's lithium-ion (Li-Ion) battery may be charged at any time. Remove the battery if you do not
intend to use the computer for 30 days. Check beforehand that it is charged to 70% of its capacity. The
device must be stored in a room in which the temperature ranges from 5 to 35°C, and should not be left
in a vehicle parked in direct sunlight. The lithium ion battery (Li-Ion) loses its qualities over time, even if
you do not use it. The average life cycle is 2 to 3 years.
To extend the battery's lifespan:
- Adjust the display's luminosity to a level suited to your environment (indoors/outdoors) and to the
application that you are using.
