temperatures exceed 140°F (60°C) or fall below
-4°F (-20°C).
• Batteries have a self discharge rate and without
use, l ose about 1% of their charge per day.
• The battery capacity is degraded if the battery is
stored for long periods while fully charged. If
long term storage is required, store at half
capacity.
