The battery charger should be operated in temperatures
between 39 and 104 degrees F.
The battery should be charged in a cool, dry place.
2 to 3 initial charging/discharging cycles may be required to

prevent damage to the charger during a power surge.
When fully charged, the battery can be safely stored in
temperatures down to -4 degrees F for a period of up to four
weeks, before requiring charging. Fully charge battery pack
every 90 days.
If over a period of time the battery pack quickly runs down
after a full 60 minutes charging period, a replacement battery
pack is needed.
To prevent permanent damage to the battery, never store in a
discharged condition.
WINTER STORAGE - Fully recharge before storage and then
again every 90 days.
Since the battery will not develop a memory, it does not have
to be fully discharged before recharging.
A small leakage of liquid from the battery cells may occur
under extreme usage, charging or temperature conditions.
This does not indicate a failure. However, if the outer seal is
broken and this leakage gets on your skin.
a. Wash quickly with soap and water.
