Storage before Installation
1. Storage Environment
If batteries are not installed immediately after being received, please store them in a clean, ventilated and dark place at around
5~30℃.
2. Storage Time
Due to self-discharge, the battery capacity will lose gradually in storage. Do not store batteries for more than 12 months or the battery
performance will be affected eternally. After being stored for 6 months, batteries should be charged with a voltage of 2.35±0.02V for 24
hours and hereafter should be recharged at least once every 6 months. A relatively high temperature will accelerate the battery
self-discharge; from 20℃ when the temperature increases every 10℃, the recharging interval should be reduced by half. For example,
when at 35℃, the initial charging or recharging interval should be 3 months.
If a battery is not charged properly, its performance and life will be affected and cause the normal guarantee invalid.
