Battery storage
The drive battery should be charged when depleted, or if not used regularly, once a
month. Failure to charge the battery as directed will cause permanent damage to the
battery and will void the warranty.
Follow these guidelines if the battery is removed:
•
Do not store battery in extreme hot or cold temperatures.
•
Do not place the battery on cement floors for extended periods. This will result in
battery discharge. Store the battery on a wood surface.
• Wipe the battery clean with a dry cloth prior to storage. Wash cloth separate from
other clothes.
