3.5 Care & Storage of Batteries
When not in use, batteries should be stored in a fully charged state. The chemistry of
the nickel metal hydride battery pack will self-discharge approximately 1% of its
charged capacity per day (up to 30% per month).
The self-discharge rate varies greatly with temperature, where lower storage
temperature leads to slower discharge rate and longer battery life. The self-discharge
is 5% – 20% on the first day, and stabilizes around 1% per day at room temperature
(at 45°C it's approximately 3 times as high).
During long term storage, it is recommended that the battery pack be re-charged at
least once every six month period. Storage for long periods in a discharged state may
permanently reduce the capacity of the battery pack or lead to the pack leaking.
Do not store the Artemis console for extended periods of time with the battery
inserted. If the battery pack leaks it may damage the interior and seals of the
battery housing.
When charging for the first time after long term storage, internal chemical changes
within the battery cells may lead to increased voltage, and decreased capacity. Restore
such batteries to original performance by repeating several cycles of charging and
discharging.
Batteries should be disconnected from the charger when not in use (to prevent slow
discharge through the charger circuitry).
Avoid repeatedly re-charging the battery without allowing for a minimum 30 minute
cooling period between charge cycles.
For best performance, it is recommended to store batteries in a dry location with low
humidity, no corrosive gasses, and at temperature range of -10°C to +35°C.
