Why do my new batteries not show full capacity?
Due to storage and shipping times, you should charge your batteries fresh out of the package.
All rechargeable batteries need to be used in a product ―under load‖, then charged, used,
charged, at least 5 times or more to reach full capacity. Batteries sitting in storage may lose
some charge over time.
It is not recommended to ―condition‖ batteries until after they have been charged and used 10
times.
As you use your batteries they will gain greater capacity and last longer. It is common for your
batteries to run down quickly at first.
Storing batteries
Store between 40 and 80 degrees F. Do not refrigerate.
Batteries will self-discharge if left unused. If unused for 30-60 days they may completely deplete
of power after long storage.
