10.5 Storing Batteries
When storing batteries, make sure that the battery terminals do not come into contact with metallic objects. If batteries
are stored for an extended period of time, they should be placed in a cool place with a partial charge of 40% to 60%
capacity (3 LEDs illuminated for rechargeable batteries). Storing batteries in a cool place slows the aging process. The
idea storage temperature is 15 °C (60 °F). Batteries should not be stored at temperature outside the range of -20°C (-4 °F)
to 60 °C (140 °F).
NOTE
Storing batteries at temperature above 38 °C (100 °F) for an extended period of time significantly shorten
the life expectancy of a battery.
10.6 Recycling the Batteries
A battery should be discarded if there are visual signs of damage, the battery fails, the battery aged alarm is presented,
the disposable batteries has been used for more than four years, or the rechargeable batteries been used for over two
years. Properly dispose of batteries according to local regulations.
WARNING
Do not disassemble, puncture or incinerate batteries. Do not short the battery terminals. They may ignite,
explode, or leak, causing personal injury.
