battery and recharge it. Storage temperature: 0 - 35°C (30 - 95°F). Do not
expose to direct sun radiation.
Charging the battery
Remove the battery and check the charging level. Use a voltmeter to
measure the voltage between the battery poles (off-load voltage).
Accurate results can only be obtained if the battery has neither been char-
ged nor discharged during a period of 30 minutes preceding the measuring.
If the battery is empty, it can be recharged for a maximum period of
10 hours at 0.5 A and a maximum of 14.4 V.
