Storing the batteries
Note: The service life of the batteries is
longest when they are well maintained
and above all stored at the right tempera-
tures. However, as the batteries age, their
capacity will decrease, even if stored
properly. A significantly shorter operating
time despite a full battery indicates that
the battery is depleted.
• Storing the battery for a long period of time when
empty may damage the battery and greatly
reduce its capacity.
• Charge batteries before storing them to avoid
damage and deep discharging. The optimum
state of charge before storage is approx. 70%.
• If the battery is stored for a long period of time,
regularly check the state of charge; charge the
battery if necessary.
• Store batteries in dry and well-ventilated areas.
• Protect batteries from moisture and water.
• Store batteries in the following places if possible:
– in rooms with smoke detectors;
– not in the vicinity of flammable or easily com-
bustible objects;
– not in the vicinity of heat sources.
• The optimum storage temperature is 10-20°C.
• Batteries must not be stored below 0 °C or above
40 °C as extreme temperatures may cause the
batteries to become damaged.
• Do not expose batteries to direct sunlight.
• Disconnect batteries from the device before stor-
age.
• Do not leave batteries permanently connected to
the charger.
