When you use a new battery pack for the first time or use a battery after a long
period of storage, the initial battery life is shorter than normal. Normal battery life
resumes after a few discharge-recharge cycles.
Follow these rules for charging your battery:
•
A battery normally discharges power when not used for long periods of
time. Be sure to recharge the battery every two months when it is not in
use.
•
Make it a practice to discharge your battery fully before recharging the
battery. This can help extend the life of the battery.
•
Do not attempt to charge the battery in temperatures of under 41
