Use and Care Manual

11
Observe the nationally and internationally applicable transport regulations
when shipping batteries by road, rail, sea or air.
Note
Ideally, the battery should be stored in a fully-charged state in a dry
place that is as cool as possible. Storing the battery in places subject
to high ambient temperatures (e.g. at a window) has an adverse
effect on battery life and increases the rate of self-discharge.
If the battery no longer reaches full charge, it may have lost capacity
due to aging or overstressing. It is still possible to work with this
battery. You should, however, soon replace the battery with a new
one.
