Maintaining Batteries
Follow these guidelines to maintain performance of Lithium-Ion (Li-on)
batteries.
n
Avoid exposing batteries to extremely hot or cold temperatures for long
periods. To prevent possible damage to the battery, the GoBook Tablet
PC 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).
n
Charge the battery nightly where the temperature will remain around
20°C (68°F).
n
Re-calibrate your battery when your battery performance degrades.
Storing Batteries
n
Store the battery within the recommended temperature range: 10°C to
30°C (50°F to 86°F).
n
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.
n
After storage, battery calibration may increase its capacity.
