Storing rechargeable batteries
Note: Rechargeable batteries last the
longest when they are well cared for
and, above all, stored at the correct
temperatures. However, with increas-
ing age, the capacity decreases even
when stored correctly. A significantly
reduced operating time despite a full
battery indicates that it has been used
up.
• Leaving the battery in an empty state for a
long time may damage it and greatly
reduce its capacity.
• Charge batteries before storage to avoid
damage and deep discharges. The opti-
mum charge level before storage is
around 70%.
• If stored for a very long time, check the
charge level regularly; recharge the bat-
tery if necessary.
• Store batteries in dry and well-ventilated
rooms.
• Protect batteries from moisture and water.
• If possible, store batteries in the following
locations:
– in rooms with smoke detectors;
