Storing a battery
CAUTION:
To reduce the risk of damage to a battery, do not expose it to high temperatures for
extended periods of time.
If a computer will be unused and unplugged from external power for more than 2 weeks, remove the
battery and store it separately.
To prolong the charge of a stored battery, place it in a cool, dry place.
NOTE:
A stored battery should be checked every 6 months. If the capacity is less than 50 percent,
recharge the battery before returning it to storage.
Calibrate a battery before using it if it has been stored for one month or more.
Disposing of a used battery
WARNING!
To reduce the risk of fire or burns, do not disassemble, crush, or puncture; do not short
external contacts; do not dispose of in fire or water.
Refer to the
Regulatory, Safety and Environmental Notices
for proper battery disposal.
Replacing the battery
In Windows 7, Battery Check in Help and Support notifies you to replace the battery when an internal
cell is not charging properly or when the battery storage capacity has reached a weak condition. If the
battery is possibly covered by an HP warranty, instructions include a warranty ID. A message refers
you to the HP Web site for more information about ordering a replacement battery.
