Battery Storage
How to store your battery for a extended time?
Charge the battery every 3 months to avoid capacity loss. Batteries slowly
self-discharge when left unused for a long time; if battery cells are allowed
to reach a critically low voltage, their lifespan and capacity will be
permanently reduced.
Always disconnect your charger from the wall outlet and battery before
storing the battery.
Avoid storing your battery in extreme temperatures, whether hot or cold.
Batteries are best kept in a cool, dry place. Do not allow batteries to
accumulate condensation, as this could cause shorting and corrosion.
The recommended storage temperature for both SLA and Li-ion batteries is
between 32~77
。
F.
Avoid exposing the battery to extreme heat (104
。
F or higher) for long time.
Battery FAQ’
Q; Do I need to charge the batteries before using them?
A; Yes, You should charge the batteries fully before first using them.
Q: Do I need to “break-in” my batteries?
A: Yes, the batteries will need to have a “break-in” cycle consisting of-three
discharge/charge cycles before then will reach optimum performance. This
involves three complete discharges and three complete recharges. After this
initial “break-in” cycle batteries will have maximum possible performance
and less line voltage fluctuations under load.
Q: How long will the batteries hold their charge?
A: All batteries will self-discharge when not in use. The self-discharge rate
depends on the temperature at which they are stored. Excessively cold or hot
storage temperature will drain the batteries faster than normal. Ideally the
batteries should be stored at room temperature.
Q: Why should I recharge my batteries at least 90 days (Li-ion) and every 30
days (SLA) when I am not using them?
A: Batteries naturally loose their charge over time. To keep batteries in
optimal condition and extend their life, it is recommended that a top-off
