5) Store battery in a cool dry place. For example, do not let the battery
in your car when it is exposed to direct sunlight since it can get
extremely hot in a very short time! Also, observe the permitted envi-
ronmental conditions (page 27)!
2.1.2 Storage of the Battery
Store the battery in a cool, dry place. For information on the maximum permit-
ted storage temperature see Table 4 on page 27.
Long-term
storage
If you are not using the battery for extended periods, store it at approximately
60% of its capacity. A permanently higher charge will accelerate the principle-
related natural aging of the battery.
