Storage
CAUTION
The battery should be stored so that the battery terminals cannot short circuit each other
and so the terminals cannot be short circuited by any metal surroundings.
NOTICE
Rechargeable batteries must be charged at least six months after their production date or
charged immediately upon delivery and then after six months of storage. For some drive
systems, a minimal level of current may flow even when the drive is not being used. After a
prolonged period this can lead to a low charge status.
If the POWER PACK 1300 is discharged and not in use for a long time it can be damaged.
NOTICE
The battery may not be connected to a drive system or control unit in delivery or storage
condition!
The connection cable for the battery should be disconnected from the control unit or drive
as well as from mains supply if you are not planning to used the drive system for an ex-
tended period. It should then be reconnected before you plan to use the system. This will
prevent the battery from losing its charge in certain applications.
Do not store in direct sunlight.
