- Store and charge your batteries in a cool area.
Temperatures above or below normal room
temperature will shorten battery pack life.
■
Never store batteries in a discharged condition. Wait
for battery pack to cool and fully charge immediately.

All batteries gradually lose their charge. The higher the
temperature, the quicker they lose their charge. If you
store your unit for long periods of time without using it,
recharge the batteries every month or two. This
practice will prolong battery pack life.
