When fully charged, the battery can be safely stored in temperatures
down to -4 degrees F for a period of up to four weeks, before
requiring charging. Fully charge battery pack every 90 days.
If over a period of time the battery pack quickly runs down after a full
60 minutes charging period, a replacement battery pack is needed.
To prevent permanent damage to the battery, never store in a
discharged condition.
WINTER STORAGE - Fully recharge before storage and then again
every 90 days.
Since the battery will not develop a memory, it does not have to be
fully discharged before recharging.
A small leakage of liquid from the battery cells may occur under
extreme usage, charging or temperature conditions. This does not
indicate a failure. However, if the outer seal is broken and this
leakage gets on your skin.
a. Wash quickly with soap and water.
