Storage Recommendations
  1. The best storage place is one that is cool and 
dry away from direct sunlight and excess heat 
or cold. For optimum battery performance and 
life, store battery packs at room temperature 
when not in use. 
  2. For long storage, it is recommended to store a 
fully charged battery pack in a cool, dry place 
out of the charger for optimal results.
NOTE: Battery packs should not be stored 
completely depleted of charge. The battery pack will 
need to be recharged before use.
