68 - Battery pack
Follow these steps again until the battery has been charged and
discharged three times.
Use this conditioning process for all new batteries, or if a battery
hasn't been used for a long time.
Warning
Do not expose battery packs to temperatures below 0° C (32° F) or
above 45° C (113° F). Extreme temperatures may adversely affect the
battery pack.
The battery conditioning process ensures your battery accepts
the maximum possible charge. Failure to follow this procedure
will prevent you from obtaining the maximum battery charge,
and will also shorten the effective lifespan of the battery.
In addition, the useful lifespan of the battery is adversely affected
by the following usage patterns:
• Using the computer on constant AC power.
• Not discharging and recharging the battery to its extremes, as
described above.
• Frequent use; the more you use the battery, the faster it will
reach the end of its effective life. An embedded battery has a life
span of more than 1,000 charge/discharge cycles.
Optimizing battery life
Optimizing battery life helps you get the most out of battery
operation, prolonging the charge/recharge cycle and improving
recharging efficiency. You are advised to follow the suggestions
set out below:
• Use AC power whenever possible, reserving battery for mobile
use.
• Remove accessories that are not being used (e.g. a USB disk
drive), as they can continue to draw power.
• Store your PC in a cool, dry place. The recommended
temperature is 10° C (50° F) to 30° C (86° F). Higher
temperatures cause the battery to self-discharge faster.
• Excessive recharging decreases the battery life.
• Look after your AC adapter and battery.

Questions and answers
Hello, I own an Acer Nitro 16. The unit's battery light flashes amber when I try to power it on and does not seem to charge even with the charging cable is inserted. This happened after someone tripped on the cord. No damage seems to be visible on either the unit or the cables. The unit was on full charge and briefly flashed a critically low battery screen before failing to turn on at all. Is there anything that can be done to troubleshoot the error or do I need to have it assessed for repairs?
The provided context does not include specific troubleshooting steps for a flashing amber battery light on an Acer Nitro 16 that won't charge. However, based on general troubleshooting practices for battery issues, you may consider the following steps:
1. Check the Power Adapter – Ensure the power adapter is properly connected and functional.
2. Try a Different Outlet – Plug the charger into a different power outlet.
3. Inspect the Charging Port – Ensure there is no debris or damage in the charging port.
4. Perform a Battery Reset – If possible, press and hold the power button for 15-30 seconds to reset the battery.
5. Remove External Devices – Disconnect all peripherals and try charging again.
