least every 2 months even when not in use.
It is possible that the battery could not be fully charged, if moving the battery from a

this case, make sure battery is in the new environment for a short while to equalize the
temperature, then charge the battery.
When charging battery, the room temperature must be in the range of 5 - 40°C.
