6. Operating Instructions

First Use and Charging:

• Upon initial installation, connect your laptop to the AC adapter and charge the battery to 100%.
• For optimal battery calibration, it is recommended to fully discharge the battery (until the laptop shuts down) and then fully recharge it to 100% for the first few cycles.

General Usage:

• Avoid frequently running the battery down to 0% as this can reduce its lifespan.
• If you primarily use your laptop connected to an AC adapter, consider setting battery charge limits in your laptop's power management settings (if available) to prolong battery health.
• Avoid using the laptop in extremely hot environments, as high temperatures accelerate battery degradation.

7. Maintenance and Storage

Battery Care Tips:

• Avoid Full Discharges: Lithium-ion batteries benefit from partial discharges rather than full ones. Try to keep the charge level between 20% and 80%.
• Temperature Control: Operate your laptop in a cool, well-ventilated area. Excessive heat is detrimental to battery life.
• Clean Contacts: Periodically clean the battery contacts (if accessible) with a dry, lint-free cloth to ensure good connection.

Storage:

• If storing the battery for an extended period (more than a month), charge it to approximately 50% before removal.
• Store the battery in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Check the battery's charge level every few months and recharge to 50% if it drops significantly.

8. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your SANISI G91J0 battery, try the following troubleshooting steps:

• Battery Not Charging:
  • Ensure the AC adapter is properly connected to both the laptop and a working power outlet.
  • Verify that the AC adapter is the correct one for your laptop and is functioning correctly.
  • Check the battery cable connection inside the laptop.
  • Try restarting your laptop.
• Short Battery Life:
  • Calibrate the battery by fully discharging and recharging it a few times.
  • Adjust your laptop's power settings to a more power-efficient mode.
  • Close unnecessary applications running in the background.
  • Reduce screen brightness.
• Battery Not Recognized:
  • Power off the laptop, remove the battery, hold the power button for 15 seconds, then reinstall the battery and restart.
  • Update your laptop's BIOS and battery drivers (check Dell's official support website for your specific model).

If these steps do not resolve the issue, please contact customer support.
