Battery Operating Instructions

• Extreme temperatures will degrade battery performance. Do not store your
battery where temperatures exceed 60°C (140°F) or fall below -20°C (4°F).
• Lithium Ion batteries have a self discharge rate and without use, will lose
about 1% of its charge per day.
• The battery capacity will be degraded if stored for long periods while fully
charged. If long term storage is required, store at half capacity.
