Note: It is good practice to temporarily mark the battery (such as a piece of tape over
the battery plug), to avoid confusion between charged and discharged batteries in
the field.

A battery pack at a temperature of less than 15°F (-9°C) can show noticeably poorer
performance until it warms up with use. In the winter or in cold climates, it’s best to store
packs in a heated indoor living space or in contact with your body heat. For outdoor use
in cold climates, pre-warm battery packs to room temperature by storing in clothing
pockets or a heated vehicle.
CAUTION!
Never launch an aircraft with a battery that has been stored at a
temperature below 15° Fahrenheit (-9°C).
CAUTION!
Li-Po batteries should never be exposed to temperatures in excess of
140° Fahrenheit (60°C). Never leave batteries inside a parked vehicle sitting in the sun
during hot weather.
