and longer performance if you charge it
before and after use, and store it at
normal room temperature.
• The battery should be charged at a
temperature of 32°F-95°F (0°C-35°C) to
prevent damage.
•Do not operate the battery at
temperatures below 14°F (-10°C) or
above 95°F (35°C). The battery may be
damaged if operated at temperatures
above 122°F (50°C). Operation time
will decrease at extremely low
temperatures.
After repeated chargings and use, the
operation time will gradually decrease.
When operation time becomes too short
to be useful, it is time to replace the
battery.
