5. Storage
5.1
For the short term, MPL50G batteries can be left stacked on a
charger until required; the charger will keep them topped-up ready
for use.
5.2
For long-term storage, batteries should be in a half-charged state
(between 20% and 80%), and not linked.
5.3
After a long period of inactivity, an MPL50G battery will auto-
matically enter
Ship Mode
, which greatly reduces its rate of self-
discharge. It can be reactivated by connecting it to a charger that is
powered-up, or by linking it to a battery that is already active.
5.4
Batteries should be stored in a cool, dry place at a temperature
between 0°C and +20°C. Long-term storage outside of this tempera-
ture range may reduce the battery’s life. Maintenance charging is not
required during long term storage.
5.5
After storage it is advisable to fully-charge batteries before use.
