The battery should be stored in a dry environment at a temperature between 0°C / 32°F and
30°C / 86°F. The lower the storage temperature, the lower the rate of self-discharge.
If you will be storing ba tteries for a longer period (more than two months),
the battery charge level should be ap prox. 30%. To prevent exhaustive
discharge which would permanently damage the battery, check the level
of charge of the battery at regu lar intervals.
To be able to m ake use of the optimum capacity of the battery, you should allow
the battery to fully discharge and then recharge it.
If you do not use the batteries for long periods, remove them from the
