Laptop Battery Tips

• It is important to condition (fully discharge and
  then fully charge) the battery every two to three
  weeks. Failure to do so may significantly shorten
  the battery's life.
• To discharge, simply run your device under the
  battery's power until it shuts down or until you
  get a low battery warning.
• It is normal for a battery to become warm during
  charging and discharging.
• A charged battery will eventually lose its charge
  if unused.
• It may therefore be necessary to recharge the
  battery after a storage period.
• How Can I Maximize My Laptop Battery Performance?
• There are several steps you can take to insure
  that you get maximum performance from your laptop
  battery
• Preventing the Memory Effect - Keep your battery
  healthy by fully charging and then fully
  discharging it at least once every two to three
  weeks.
• Exercise Your Battery - Do not leave your battery
  dormant for long periods of time. We recommend
  using the battery at least once every two to
  three weeks. If a battery has not been used for a
  long period of time, perform the new battery
  break in procedure described above.
