· If the battery will not be in use for a month or longer, it is recommended that it be removed from the charger and stored in a cool, dry, clean place.
· Self Discharge
· A charged battery will eventually lose its charge if unused. It may therefore be necessary to recharge the battery after a storage period.
· Battery Run Time
· Actual battery run-time depends upon the power demands made by the equipment it powers. The total run-time of the battery is also heavily dependent upon the design of the equipment.
· Batteries are warm to the touch
It is normal for a battery to become warm to the touch during charging and discharging.
· Here are some basic tips for battery handling:
· Do not short-circuit. A short-circuit may cause severe damage to the battery or even explosion.
Avoid dropping or impacting rechargeable batteries. This could result in the exposure of the corrosive cell contents.
