Storing laptop for 3 month.

HI guys

planning on storing my laptop while i go travelling for 3 months. any advise? Do i need to take the battery out or leave it in and what % charged? 

Dell does say it can be left in at 80-100% (discharge 15% every 4 months) 

anyone have any experience in this?

 

cheers

    Only thing which can hurt your laptop while not in use is moisture

    Pack the machine is plastic bag

    No modern Lithium battery can be left it in any charge, it doesn't matter if it's fully charged or discharged
