Keep the battery pack between 0 °C and +30 °C (32 and 122 degrees Fahrenheit). The lower
the t emperature at which the batteries are stored, the lower the rate of self-discha rge.
If you will be storing batteries for a longer period (more than two months), the battery
charge level s hould be approx. 30 %. To prevent exhaustive discharge, check the
charging leve l of the battery at regular intervals.
To be able to m ake use of the optimal charging capacity of the batteries, the battery
should be completely discharged and then fully recharged.
If you do not use the batteries for long periods, remove them from the
notebook. Never store the batteries in the device.
