Battery information
This product uses a Lithium-ion / Li-polymer battery. Do not use it in a humid,
wet and/or corrosive environment. Do not put, store or leave your product in or
near a heat source, in a high temperature location, in strong direct sunlight, in
a microwave oven or in a pressurized container, and do not expose it to
temperatures over 60 °C (140 °F). Failure to follow these guidelines may cause
the battery to leak acid, become hot, explode or ignite and cause injury and/or
damage. Do not pierce, open or disassemble the battery. If the battery leaks
and you come into contact with the leaked fluids, rinse thoroughly with water
and seek medical attention immediately. For safety reasons, and to prolong the
lifetime of the battery, charging will not occur at low (below 0 °C/32 °F) or high
(over 40 °C/104 °F) temperatures.
The full performance of a new battery is achieved only after two or three
complete charge and discharge cycles. The battery can be charged and
discharged many times, but it will eventually wear out. When normal use and
standby times are noticeably shorter than normal, contact your reseller. Use
only Acer approved batteries, and recharge your battery only with Acer
approved chargers designated for this device.
Unplug the charger from the electrical plug and the device when not in use. If
left unused, a fully charged battery will lose its charge over time. If the battery
is completely discharged, it may take a few minutes before the charging
indicator appears on the display or before the device can be used.
Use the battery only for its intended purpose. Never use any charger or battery
that is damaged.
Do not short-circuit the batteries under any condition. Accidental short-
circuiting can occur when a metallic object such as a coin, clip, or pen causes
direct connection of the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals of the battery.
(These look like metal strips on the battery.) This might happen, for example,
when you carry a spare battery in your pocket or purse. Short-circuiting the
terminals may damage the battery or the connecting object.
Leaving the battery or any device with embedded batteries in hot or cold
places, such as in a closed car in summer or winter conditions, will reduce the
capacity and lifetime of the battery. Always try to keep the battery between 15
