BATTERY STORAGE
When not in use, remove the battery from the camera or charger and store the battery in a cool, dry place. Avoid
storage areas with fluctuating temperatures, extreme hot or cold temperatures, corrosive gas, and direct sunlight. The
optimal storage temperature for batteries is between – 20°C to 20°C (–4°F to 68°F). For more information, go to
"Battery Storage and Handling" on page6.
Lithium-Ion batteries, like the REDVOLT, REDVOLT-V, REDVOLT XL, and RED BRICK, self-discharge over time. Prior
to storing for long periods of time, charge batteries to a capacity level of 40% to 60%. Use the LED indicator array on
the batteries to ensure the level of charge is between 40% to 60%. Press the battery status button next to the LEDs to
display the battery charge level. Verify that two (2) LEDs are illuminated on the REDVOLT, REDVOLT-V, REDVOLT XL,
or three (3) to four (4) LEDs are illuminated on a RED BRICK.
For long term storage over six (6) months, RED recommends that you check the charge level at least once every six (6)
months, and recharge batteries to a capacity level of 40% to 60%.
