If your laptop is a desktop replacement, then you probably only need the battery every now and then. It can be quite frustrating if you want to use your laptop for the first time after a year without <a href=\"http:\/\/www.aussiebatt.com\/laptop-power-adapters.html\">AC adapter<\/a>, only to realize that your batteries are already dead even though you never really used them. However, if you remove the battery from the laptop and store it accurately, there is a good chance that it will be in good condition when you need it next time.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Dell latitude e6400 laptop battery\" href=\"http:\/\/www.aussiebatt.com\/dell-laptop-battery\/latitude-e6400.html\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-261\" alt=\"Dell-latitude-e6400-laptop-battery\" src=\"http:\/\/www.aussiebatt.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Dell-latitude-e6400-laptop-battery.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.aussiebatt.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Dell-latitude-e6400-laptop-battery.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.aussiebatt.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Dell-latitude-e6400-laptop-battery-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.aussiebatt.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Dell-latitude-e6400-laptop-battery-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a>Instructions:<\/p>\n<p>1. <b>Don\u2019t store a battery that is almost empty<\/b>. Stored\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.aussiebatt.com\/dell\/latitude-e6400-batteries.html\">Dell latitude e6400 batteries<\/a> continue losing energy, albeit at a much slower pace. If the stored battery is totally discharged, it could be destroyed.<\/p>\n<p>2. <b>Don\u2019t store a fully charged battery<\/b>. Fully charged batteries deteriorate faster than half-charged batteries. Most articles I\u2019ve read recommended storing laptop batteries with a 40\u201360% charge.<\/p>\n<p>3. <b>Store the battery at a low temperature<\/b>. I usually put it in the fridge. It keeps my battery fresh and crisp. Check out this table at Wikipedia. 0\u00b0C (32\u00b0F) seems to be the best storage temperature. I wouldn\u2019t put the battery in the freezer even though Li-ion batteries only freeze at approximately \u221240\u00b0C.<\/p>\n<p>4. <b>Store the battery in a dry place<\/b>. A moist environment will accelerate discharging the battery.<\/p>\n<p>5. <b>Check the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.aussiebatt.com\/dell\/latitude-e6500-batteries.html\">Dell latitude e6500 battery<\/a> state every now and then<\/b>. I would remove it from the fridge at least every 30 days to calibrate it.<\/p>\n<p>6. <b>Let the battery warm up a little before you put it back into your laptop<\/b>. If the temperature is raised too fast, it will strain the battery.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While the high temperatures inside modern laptops are probably the worst enemy of a Li-ion\u00a0Dell latitude &hellip; <a title=\"How to properly store Dell latitude e6400 laptop battery\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.aussiebatt.com\/blog\/how-to-properly-store-dell-latitude-e6400-laptop-battery\/\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">How to properly store Dell latitude e6400 laptop battery<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,6,4],"tags":[197,198,196],"class_list":["post-260","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-battery-knowledgebase","category-how-to","category-laptop-battery-tech-tips","tag-dell-latitude-e6500-battery","tag-extended-life-dell-latitude-e6400-battery","tag-properly-store-dell-latitude-e6400-battery"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.aussiebatt.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/260","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.aussiebatt.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.aussiebatt.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.aussiebatt.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.aussiebatt.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=260"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.aussiebatt.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/260\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":262,"href":"https:\/\/www.aussiebatt.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/260\/revisions\/262"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.aussiebatt.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=260"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.aussiebatt.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=260"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.aussiebatt.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=260"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
