Storing the Computer for Long Periods

If possible, leave the power cord connected to the computer and an electrical outlet
when the computer is not in use. This extends the life of the battery and keeps the
battery fully charged.
If you will not be using the computer for a long period of time (a month or more), you
should charge the battery until it is completely full. After you have done so, remove the
battery from the unit.
