battery life. Store the machine in a cool (not below
freezing) location.
•
Before you store the machine, charge or discharge
the battery between 40% to 60% (50.7V to 52.1V).
Note:
A 50% charge is optimal to ensure a
maximum battery life. When the battery is charged
to 100% before storage, the battery life shortens.
If you anticipate that the machine will be stored
for a longer period of time, charge the battery to
around 60%.
•
For every 6 months of storage, check the
battery-charge level and ensure that it is between
40% to 60%. If the charge is below 40%, charge
the battery between 40% to 60%.
•
You can use a multimeter to check the charge level
when the machine is off. Refer to the following
table for the amount of voltage that is equal to the
charge level:
Voltage
52.1V
51.4V
50.7V
•
After charging the battery, disconnect the
battery charger from power. Disconnect the
power connector during storage to minimize the
discharging of the battery.
•
If you leave the charger on the machine, it will shut
off after the battery is fully charged and does not
turn back on unless the charger is disconnected
and reconnected.
