• Charge your LiFePO4 battery to 100% of its capacity before storage!

• Protect the pole contacts from short circuits by covering them!
• For longer storage, the LiFePO4 battery must be charged to 100% every year!
• Temperatures down to -20°C do not damage the battery cell, so it is not necessary to remove
the battery in most cases� In general, however, care should be taken to ensure that very cold
batteries are slowly brought back to the ambient temperature! Rapid heating can lead to
condensation in the housing and damage to the battery�
• Never use a trickle charger!
