Care
To clean the battery housing, use a soft, damp
cloth or a neutral cleaning agent. Please do
not use cleaning agents such as petrol, alcohol
or other liquids. Non-neutral cleaning agents
could lead to peeling paint, discolouration,
deformation, scratches or defects.
Storage
For optimum battery life, it is advisable to
store the battery in the following conditions:
x Temperature: 18-23 °C
x Humidity 0-80%
x Charge level 70%
After around three months of storage, check
the charge level and, if necessary, recharge the
battery to approximately 70%.
Transport
The battery may be shipped only in the
packaging in which it was delivered. This is a
special packaging for hazardous goods and
bears the necessary warning notices.
