Spikes are fast, short duration electrical transients in voltage (voltage spikes), current (current spikes), or transferred energy (energy spikes) in an electrical circuit. Voltage spikes usually happen when the AC/DC adaptor is plugged in, or charge current is cut off quickly. Multi voltage chargers are made using transformers that may be capable of producing spikes that exceed the maximum ratings of the Discover AES.

▲ NOTE! Do not discharge battery at rates greater than recommended operating currents. 6.5 Storage Systems should be stored out of direct sunlight under the following temperature conditions: Minimum Storage Temperature -20°C / -4°F Maximum Storage Temperature 45°C / 113°F Systems should be put into storage at 80% SOC and checked monthly to ensure the system SOC does not fall below 20%. At 20% SOC the battery will self discharge in approximately 2 months. ▲ CAUTION! Do not store a discharged battery.
