EFERENCE
The VX 675 battery features a trip recovery system, which resolves faulty or
hazardous conditions that led to a safety trip. Application of current through the
charger will reset the safety circuit.
Should I allow the battery to discharge completely before charging?
No. It is better to recharge the battery often and avoid frequent full discharge.
However, allow a full discharge once a month to enable reset.
Should I charge the battery partially or fully?
It does not matter whether you charge the battery fully or partially. Charging a full
battery will not harm the battery.
Should I charge the battery before putting it into storage?
It is advisable to store the battery with a 40% charge. However, storing the battery
in a cool place is more important than the state of charge. In addition, make sure
