What means the slider with the red dot that you find on some Sony battery packs (Toshiba batteries) ?

It is intended as a reminder. Once the battery is charged, move the slider so that the red dot can be seen. In this way you can avoid an accidental double charging that leads to a memory effect in NiCD batteries and thus a loss of capacity.

How should a Sony Vaio rechargeable battery be stored?

The recommended temperature range for long-term storage is between +10°C and +30°C at a relative humidity of 50%. A normal refrigerator at +8°C can be used for extended periods of storage, since that minimizes the degree of self-discharge.
