Maintaining battery life and
performance
With proper care and maintenance you will maintain
the performance and life of the battery. It is
recommended that you:
■
Use only Tait batteries and chargers.
■
Do not expose a battery to very high or very low
temperatures for extended periods of time. Doing
so will shorten the service life of the battery.
Very high: above 140 °F (60 °C)
Very low: less than –22 °F (–30 °C).
■
Charge the battery at a room temperature of
between 50 °F and 77 °F (between 10 °C and
25 °C). This temperature range is the optimal
charging range.
■
Allow your NiMH battery to fully discharge once
every 3 months. See
.
■
Store batteries properly when not in use.
