Storing the battery
For the longevity, performance, and safety of this equipment, use the original packaging materials when you store or
transport this equipment.
All batteries lose charge during storage or periods of inactivity. A SMRT Pak can lose up to 30 percent of its charge
within 48 hours after you remove it from the SMRT charger. Use and fully charge stored SMRT Paks every three months
to maintain top performance.
Charging the SMRT Pak
The SMRT Pak is intended for use with the SMRT charger only.
WARNING
Do not insert a cracked or damaged SMRT Pak into the SMRT charger. Return damaged SMRT Paks to a service center
for recycling.
Notes
• For extended storage, store the SMRT Pak on the SMRT charger to trickle charge. The SMRT charger keeps the
SMRT Pak charged and ready for use.
• Store the SMRT Pak at room temperature within the allowable temperature charge range of 43 °F to 88 °F (6 °C to
31 °C). Charging the SMRT Pak outside of this recommended temperature range reduces SMRT Pak life and
extends charge time.
To charge the SMRT Pak (Figure 50 on page 62):
1. Insert a clean, dry SMRT Pak into the SMRT charger. Make sure that the SMRT Pak is locked into the SMRT
charger.
