Rechargeable battery care
• Do not fully exhaust rechargeable batteries.
• Store rechargeable batteries only when charged and at low temperatures,
but not below 0 °C (best storage conditions are 50-80% charge, at an
ambient temperature of 10-20 °C, recharge completely before using again).
• For longer breaks, you should discharge and recharge the batteries every 3-
4 months. Trickle charging should not exceed 2 days.
