Storing a battery
Prolonged storage of a fully discharged or fully charged battery can damage
the battery. Storage of a battery at elevated temperature can damage the
battery. Batteries should be stored in a partially charged state, at storage
temperature.
A new battery contains sufficient charge and requires no maintenance if used
within one year of manufacture.
Following use in the device, if a used battery must be stored for more than one
month, follow this procedure to store the battery on the appropriate charge
level:
To store a battery:
1. Put the battery in normal use until the battery charge level is below the
storage charge level.
New batteries already have a battery charge level lower than the storage
charge level.
2. Start charging the battery.
3. Monitor the battery status and stop charging the battery when the charge
level has reached the storage charge level.
4. Store the battery at storage temperature in an environment with low
humidity and free from corrosive gas.
5. Repeat previous steps if storage is more than 6 months.
After an extended period of storage, it may be necessary to charge and
discharge the battery several times to obtain the maximum performance.
