• 

Charge the battery before storage and 
check the state of charge every 3 months.

• 

Store the battery in a cool and dry 
place where it is safe from damage and 
unauthorised access.

To obtain an optimum battery life 
cycle, the battery should be stored at a 
temperature from 18°C to 23°C and a 
humidity of 0 to 80 per cent. The state of 
charge should be 70 per cent.

life cycle of the battery. There is also a 
danger of fire and explosion.

After the end of the charging process, the 
charger must first be disconnected from 
the mains socket and then from the battery.

•
