Battery Charge Notice It is important to consider the environment temperature whenever you are charging the  Lithium-Ion  battery  pack.  The  process  is  more  efficient  at  normal  room temperature or slightly cooler. It is essential that you charge batteries within the stated range of 0°C to 40°C. Charging batteries outside of the specified range could damage the batteries and shorten their charging life cycle.  Storage and Safety Notice Although charge Lithium-Ion batteries may be left unused for several months, their capacity may be depleted due to the buildup of internal resistance. If this happens they  will  require  recharging  prior  to  use.  Lithium  Ion  batteries  may  be  stored  at temperatures between -10°C to 60°C, however they may be depleted more rapidly at the high end of this range. It is recommended to store AIM8I within normal room temperature ranges.T-W101 User Manual

Desktop, integrated desktop, and notebook (laptop) computers, workstations, small-scale servers, and thin clients are all eligible to earn the ENERGY STAR, and those that do are now more efficient than ever. It is an honor for Advantech to provide you such products.  What is ENERGY STAR? ENERGY STAR is a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) voluntary program that helps businesses and individuals save money and protect our climate through superior energy efficiency. The ENERGY STAR program was established by EPA in 1992, under the authority of the Clean Air Act Section 103(g). Section103(g) of the Clean Air Act directs the Administrator to "conduct a basic engineering research and technology program to develop, evaluate, and demonstrate non–regulatory strategies and technologies for reducing air pollution."  In 2005, Congress enacted the Energy Policy Act. Section 131 of the Act amends Section 324 (42 USC 6294) of the Energy Policy and Conservation Act, and "established at the Department of Energy and the Environmental Protection Agency a voluntary program to identify and promote energy–efficient products and buildings in order to reduce energy consumption, improve energy security, and reduce pollution through voluntary labeling of or other forms of communication about products and buildings that meet the highest energy efficiency standards."
