Long storage times without charging or discharging the battery at
regular intervals may lead to permanent damage of the battery.
If the battery is stored at room temperature (20 °C to 30 °C) it will
automatically discharge at a rate of 3-6% per month due to internal
reactions. Storing the battery at temperatures above room
temperature should be avoided. A high storage temperature also
means a higher rate of battery degradation.
Batteries that are stored at room temperature should be recharged
every six months to maintain their full capacity and service life.
Connect Protect A to the mains before putting it into storage, in
order to make sure that the battery is fully charged.
The charging time should be at least 8 hours.
