10 TIPS FOR OPTIMIZING PERFORMANCE
By following the tips listed below, one can assure long life and high performance of the battery:

Charge all batteries fully prior to first use of the device.

Allow battery to charge fully over night periodically.

Use at temperatures 10
℃
~25
℃
.

Charge battery to 30~50% SOC prior to long storage periods.

Charge/discharge battery once after it is has been stored for more than two (2) months.

Ensure that all batteries are secured into position to minimize damage from shock and
vibration

Periodically inspect electrical connections to ensure screws are tight and no corrosion is
present.

Proper thermal management will maximize life. This includes adequate air cooling.

If a battery is replaced, all battery should be at the same state of charge when placed into the
pack.
11 MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
11.1 Visual Inspection
Please perform regular visual inspections of the battery case. If the battery case is found to have
dents, discoloration, or appears to be damaged in any way, DISCONTINUE USE IMMEDIATELY.
Please contact your place of purchase for assistance with evaluating the product for continued
usability.
11.2 Voltage Checking
The voltage of the battery can be monitored during normal operation or as part of standard tests
performed periodically to assess the health of the battery. If you find any single battery’s voltage
is under 10V at room temperature, the battery has been over-discharged or is self-discharging
due to some defect/parasitic load. Discontinue use until the fault can be corrected and the
battery be recharged.
11.3 Battery Storage

Test the open circuit voltage periodically and recharge if it is at or below 12V. Monthly tests
are recommended.

Store in an open, well ventilated, dry, clean area, between10
℃
and 25
℃
(50°F and 77°F)
for maximum life. Self discharge is accelerated at higher temperatures

Do not expose the battery to extremes of temperature over 50
℃
(122°F).

Do not expose the battery directly to sources of heat.

Do not expose the battery to direct sunlight or moisture and/or precipitation.
