Battery Care and Storage
• Recharging takes approximately 100
minutes depending on the battery’s
condition.
• Refreshing takes approximately five
hours and 30 minutes depending on the
battery’s condition.
• After repeated charging and use,
operation time will gradually decrease.
When operation time becomes too short
to be useful, it is time to replace the
battery.
• If the battery discharging must be
stopped in the middle, remove the
battery from the adapter/charger before
unplugging it from the AC outlet.
• Let a hot battery cool down before
attaching it to the adapter/charger.
• The battery will provide better service
if its power is completely drained
before storing it for long periods of
time (30 days or more).
• The battery should be charged in the
temperature range of 50-95°F (10-35ºC)
to prevent damage.
• Do not operate the battery at
temperatures below 32°F (0°C) or
above 104°F (40°C). The battery may
be damaged if operated at temperatures
above 122°F (50°C). Operation time
will decrease at extremely low
