36.7 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, place the batteries in a cool place with a partial charge of
40% to 60% capacity (3 LEDs illuminated).
Condition the stored batteries every three months. For more information, see
36.6.1 Conditioning the Battery.
• Remove the battery from the equipment if the equipment is not used for a prolonged time (for
example, several weeks). Otherwise the battery may overdischarge.
• Storing batteries at high temperature for an extended period of time will significantly shorten their
life expectancy.
• The battery storage temperature is between -5 °C and 35 °C. Storing batteries in a cool place can
slow the aging process. Ideally the batteries should be stored at 15 °C.
36.8 Recycling Batteries
Discard a battery in the following situations:
■ The battery has visual signs of damage.
■ The battery fails.
■ The battery is aged and its runtime significantly less than the specification.
■ The battery has been used for more than two years.
Properly dispose of batteries according to local regulations.
• Do not open batteries, heat batteries above 60 °C, incinerate batteries, or short the battery
terminals. They may ignite, explode, leak or heat up, causing personal injury.
