temperature range of 50 °F to 86 °F (10
°C to 30 °C) . Charge the Battery Module
within this temperature range .
• At temperatures below 32 °F (0 °C) the
gas absorption reaction is not sufficient

pressure inside the battery . This condition
can activate the safety vent and lead
to alkaline gas leaking and battery
performance deterioration .
