leave the battery pack in areas with
temperatures above +60˚C. High temperature buildup in
the battery cells
, such as could occur near fires or stoves,
inside a sun-heated vehicle, or in direct sunlight for long

fire. Excessive temperatures may also degrade pack’s
performance or shorten the battery cell’s life.
