The battery will generate heat during recharging and discharging. There is a protection circuit inside the T1028(M1028) Touch Note to prevent overheating.

The more the temperature deviates from this range during recharging, the less chance there is for the battery to be fully charged. In order to recharge the pack to its full capacity, users are requested to cool down the unit by unplugging the AC Adapter. Then plug in the AC Adapter to start recharging again.

The batteries will self-discharge when they are not being recharged. To make sure a battery pack is fully charged, recharge before use. Always keep the battery inside the T1028(M1028) Touch Note and have the AC adapter connected whenever possible.
