D. The battery (Power Pack) will partially self-discharge
over time. The rate of self-discharge increases with
temperature. It is recommended that the unit be run for
at least 2 hours every six months and then recharged
overnight. This will preserve the potential life of the internal
battery to its fullest extent.

Unnecessary extended charging will cause internal heating
and potential premature failure of the battery. The battery
will fully charge in 8–12 hours from a fully discharged state.
