Protective equipment for charging

which only permits charging within a temperature range between
0 °C and +40 °C. If the rechargeable battery is outside of the
temperature limits, the charging process will automatically end.
• For storage, take the rechargeable battery out of the holder
and place it in a safe location.

falling down and so that it is not accessible for children and
animals.
• If possible, store the rechargeable battery at room temper-
ature in a dry, well ventilated area.

period of time, it is best to store the rechargeable battery
in a well ventilated location such as a basement at
approx. +10 to +15 °C.

• Make sure that the top and bottom temperature limit is
not exceeded or underrun during storage (see chapter
“Technical data”).
