if before and after use, and store it at
normal room temperature.
The battery should be charged at a
temperature of 32ºF-95ºF (0ºC-35ºC)
to prevent damage.
Do not operate the battery at tempera-
tures below 14ºF (-10ºC) or above 95ºF
(35ºC).
You might damage the
battery if you use it at temperatures
above 122ºF (50ºC).
Operation
time decreases at extremely low
temperatures.
After repeated chargings and use
the operation time decreases.
When
the operation time becomes too
short to be useful, it is time to
replace the battery.
Battery Storage
Store the battery at normal room
temperature.
Lead acid batteries discharge if not
used.
Recharge the battery at least
once ever six months or you may not
be able to recharge it.
