2. Operation
Operation of Lithium-Ion Batteries
2.1
Lithium-ion batteries share many characteristics with con-
ventional batteries. The major difference is that Lithium-ion
batteries do not have a "memory" and do not require to be
completely discharged periodically. It is recommended to
charge Lithium-ion batteries after each use so they will be
fully charged when needed.
Lithium-ion batteries perform best and deliver peak output
power at room temperature. When operated in lower tem-
peratures, the battery output will be reduced.
Note: A fully charged battery will loose about 2% of its
charge per month during storage.
