6.1 Battery use and care
NOTE
Battery performance drops at low temperatures. Never
use the battery until the cells become fully discharged.
Change to the second battery as soon as a drop in per-
formance is noticed. Recharge the battery immediately
so that it is ready for reuse.
Store the battery in a cool, dry place. Never store the
battery where it is exposed to direct sunlight or sources
of heat, e.g. on heaters / radiators or behind a motor
vehicle windscreen. Batteries that have reached the end
of their life must be disposed of safely and correctly to
avoid environmental pollution.
