CHARGING A COLD BATTERY PACK
A cold battery pack may be placed directly onto the charger port but charging will not begin until the battery
temperature warms to within acceptable temperature range. When a cold battery pack is placed on the charger,
the charger may indicate the pack is not ready to charge. Please refer to charger operator’s manual. When the
battery pack warms, the charger will automatically begin charging.

For battery pack storage longer than 30 days:
Store the battery pack where the temperature is below 80°F and away from moisture.

Every six months of storage, charge the pack as normal.
