Storage and transportation
Use the original packaging to store and transport batteries. To
obtain the best performance from your battery, store it in a cool
dry place. Failure to store batteries correctly could lead to
reduced capacity and battery life.
Do not store a fully charged battery for periods exceeding 6
months. For storage periods exceeding 6 months apply a
conditioning charge of 7 minutes for standard and 12 minutes
for high capacity batteries every 6 months.
