Using The Battery Charger - Swarovski Optik RB AFL Manual

3. GENERAL INFORMATION AND STORAGE
• The battery life depends on the ambient temperature.
• Under no circumstances should batteries be stored for longer periods
(days) in a discharged state as this can lead to irreparable damage.
Charge the battery to 60-80% before storage. If the battery is stored at
room temperature, it must be recharged after 6 months.
• The service life of a rechargeable battery is limited and its performance
decreases with the duration of use. We advise not to exceed a service life
of 5 years.
