| * '''''If your battery exceeds 30-40 °C/86-104 °F, REPLACE THE BATTERY!''''' |
| * '''If your pack is older, use caution or consider discharging the battery to ~10%. A full discharge may damage older batteries.''' |
| * '''In most cases, you will see a capacity decrease. This is good and means the information reported to the BMS is accurate.''' |
| * '''Avoid using your laptop while it is charging. The calibration accuracy may be affected.''' |
| * If your laptop does not allow you to use it when the battery drops to a certain percentage, you will need a workaround to drain the battery to 0%. This may vary based on the BIOS type (UEFI or Legacy). |
|
| '''How to recalibrate the battery''' |
| * Charge the laptop to 100%. |
