14.3
Working with Lithium Batteries
Charge only with the approved charging cable
Batteries are to be used only for the specified purpose. Incorrect use will invalidate the warranty and
may make the battery become dangerous.
Charge in a clean, dry environment ideally at 10°C (0 to 45°C is permissible).
Do not store or operate in direct sunlight for extended periods. Battery can be damaged by over-heating,
for example if placed on the rear parcel shelf of a motor vehicle.
Store in a cool dry environment. Storage at elevated temperatures can cause permanent loss of
capacity.
For short term storage (less than six months), store in a fully charged state.
For extended periods of storage (more than one year), charge before storage and recharge every six to
nine months.
Always fully recharge the battery after any storage period greater than one month before use.
Do not store the battery with the charge depleted as this can cause failure of the battery and invalidate
warranty.
