allowed operating temperature for the battery.
Storage Instructions
•
The battery must be stored in shipping condition (70% discharge) or over than 70%
discharge condition to storage for long period.
•
The battery must be stored in dry condition of low humidity, especially be free from
high temperature (45°C / 113°F or more). (Recommended Temperature 23°C / 73°F,
Humidity 65±20% or less.)
•
Do not store the battery near heat sources, nor in a place subject to direct sunlight to
storage in warehouse.
