Battery Storage
When storing the batteries for a long period of time:
• Charge the batteries at least every 30 days to avoid capacity loss. Batteries slowly self-
discharge when unused over a long period. If the battery cells are left at a critically low charge
state, the lifespan and capacity will be permanently reduced.
• Always disconnect the charger from the mains electrical supply and battery before storing
the battery.
