Battery Storage

1. Fully charge a battery before you store it for a long time, to avoid battery damage due to

over-discharge.

2. Recharge a battery after several months’ storage (Ni-MH & Ni-Cd batteries: 3 months;

Li-Ion & Li-polymer batteries: 6 months), to avoid reducing battery capacity due to

over-discharge.

3. Store your battery in a cool, dry place under room temperature, to reduce self-discharge.

Charging Operation

indicating the battery power is low, please charge the battery by the HYT approved charger. The
