Battery Storage, Continued:
6. The frequency of recharging required depends on the temperature of the storage area, but it is recom-
mended that the battery be monitored for state of charge every month. Also, if the storage area is
unheated in a cold climate and recharging is required, it is recommended that the area be heated to at
least 60 °F (16 °C) prior to charging. The battery will not charge effectively in cold temperatures for the
same reasons that it does not discharge as rapidly in cold temperatures.
