If any kind of laptop has to be stored in a warehouse for a period of, say, 4 months -- what will happen? Will it be bootable when it is retrieved? Will one or both of the batteries be dead?
Shut it down, remove the battery, put the battery in a ziploc baggie with a silicon drying pack and it should be fine. The clock battery (if it has one) should last for years.
It should boot right up. You may need to recharge the battery, but if it's stored in a dry environment that's less likely (why I suggest a ziplock and a silicon packet)
Worst that can happen is that the clock will be off.
