1 Instructions Battery Care:
Your new battery comes in a discharged condition and must be charged before use (see your computer manual for charging instructions). Upon initial use (or after a prolonged storage period) the battery may require three to four charge / discharge before achieving maximum capacity.
2, When charging the battery for the first time your computer may indicate that charging is complete after 10 or 15 minutes. This is a normal phenomenon with rechargeable batteries. Simply remove the battery from the computer and repeat the charging procedure.
It is important to condition (fully discharge and then charge) battery every two or three weeks. Otherwise, you can significantly shorten the battery life (this does not apply to Li-Ion batteries which do not require conditioning). To download, simply run the device under battery power until it shuts down or until you get a low battery warning. Then recharge the battery as instructed in the manual.
3, If the battery is not in use for a month or more, we recommend that you remove the device and stored in a cool, dry and clean.
4, it is normal for a battery to become warm during charging and discharging.
A charged battery eventually lose its charge if unused. Therefore, it may be necessary to recharge the battery after a storage period.
