Charge temperature
Temperate indoor environment (ca. 20°C / 70°F)
The battery can be charged in a wider temperature range (0 – 45°C /
32 – 113°F), but charging at high or low temperatures may increase the
charging time and/or reduce the battery lifetime.
Discharge temperature
-20 – 60°C / -4 – 140°F.
For optimal performance and battery lifetime it is recommended to
use the battery in a temperate indoor environment (ca. 20°C / 70°F).
Battery storage
If the battery is to be stored for a longer period, it should be charged
half-full before storage. Never store an empty battery for a longer
period, as it may go into a deep discharge state that can damage the
battery cells. After storing a battery for more than 6 months without
using it, it is advised to check the charge level on the battery. If less
than 2 of the battery status LEDs [21] lits up, the battery should again
be charged to half-full before further storage.
