Storing the Batteries
Charge the batteries fully before placing the machine

the machine and batteries are in storage. Leave
the charger plugged into a wall outlet and charging
receptacle during storage to ensure that the batteries
stay charged and do not freeze; otherwise, charge the
batteries at least once a month.

in during storage, fully charge the batteries at
least once a month. The batteries self-discharge
over long periods of time, which may damage the
batteries to the point of being unusable, even if
the batteries are new.
