1.5 Temperature and Battery Life
High temperatures can harm the battery and reduce its lifespan. Battery life decreases by
50% every per 15ºF (~ 9ºC) above the standard operating temperature of 77ºF (25ºC).
To minimize battery damage:
Use temperature compensated chargers. •
Never allow the battery's temperature to 131ºF (+55°C). •
Make sure operating area is properly ventilated, so heat cannot accumulate. •
Provide at least 0.39" (10mm) of space between batteries to enhance convective cooling. •
Visit sites annually to check for shorted cells, improperly set voltages, filter cleaning on •
ventilation systems, etc.
1.6 Internal Resistance and Short-circuit Current
The internal resistance of the battery is affected by temperature and charge state. The
internal resistance is lowest when the battery is fully charged.

CAUTION!
A short circuit current will decrease the voltage of the battery to 0V, and damage the internal
components.
