4.2.2.
Discharge Temperature Characteristics
Battery capacity increases with the temperature. The size of the effect the temperature has is
affected by the discharge current/discharge rate. This effect becomes more obvious when the
battery is discharged at a larger current.

Self-Discharge
Stored batteries will need to be recharged to recover from self-discharge. The rate of self-
discharge increases as the temperature increases.
