Storage And Disposal - AEG Protect A Series User Manual

10. STORAGE AND DISPOSAL

Long storage times without charging or discharging the battery at
regular intervals may lead to permanent damage of the battery.
If the battery is stored at room temperature (20 °C to 30 °C) it will
automatically discharge at a rate of 3-6% per month due to internal
reactions. Storing the battery at temperatures above room
temperature should be avoided. A high storage temperature also
means a higher rate of battery degradation.
Batteries that are stored at room temperature should be recharged
every six months to maintain their full capacity and service life.
Connect Protect A to the mains before putting it into storage, in
order to make sure that the battery is fully charged.
The charging time should be at least 8 hours.
