higher Watt hour rating. This increased quantity of 3 batteries 
with the lower Watt hour rating can exempt the pack from 
certain shipping regulations that are imposed upon the higher 
Watt hour batteries. 
For example, the Transport 
Wh rating might indicate 
3 x 36 Wh, meaning 3 
batteries of 36 Wh each. 
The Use Wh rating might 
indicate 108 Wh (1 battery implied).

Storage Recommendations

1.  The best storage place is one that is cool and dry away 

from direct sunlight and excess heat or cold. For optimum 
battery performance and life, store battery packs at room 
temperature when not in use.

2.  For long storage, it is recommended to store a fully charged 

battery pack in a cool, dry place out of the charger for 
optimal results.

nOTE:

 Battery packs should not be stored completely depleted 

of charge. The battery pack will need to be recharged before 
use.
