Maintaining
the Battery
Life and
Performance
To maintain the battery life and performance, understand
and follow the guidelines below:
Li-Ion Power Modules
• Recharge the Power Module frequently, preferably
after each use or at night. It is recommended to limit
the number of full discharge and recharge cycles.
• Frequent use at high temperatures can reduce
performance.
• Use a dry location at or near room temperature when
storing the Power Module for an extended time.
Prolonged storage at higher temperatures can reduce
performance.
• Ensure the remaining charge level is at or near
mid-capacity when storing for an extended time. The
remaining charge will slowly drain during storage.
Periodically charge the Power Module to ensure the
remaining charge does not drain to low levels.
NiMH Battery Packs
• Recharge the Battery Pack when it is nearly
discharged. NiMH Battery Packs benefit from full
discharge and recharge cycles.
• Use a dry, cool location when storing the Battery Pack
for an extended time.
• Ensure the remaining charge level is nearly full when
storing the Battery Pack. The remaining charge will
slowly drain during storage. Periodically charge the
Battery Pack to ensure the remaining charge does not
drain to low levels.
