(3) Storing the battery
Store batteries in a cool, dry area. (A location
with a temperature between 10 to 25°C is optimal
for storing.)
If you are not planning on using the battery for a
long period of time (30 days or more), charge it
so that 3 of the capacity indicator lamps comes
on, and then store it.
To store the battery without using it for over 3
months, check every 3 months to see if 3 capac-
ity indicator lamps light up.
If 2 or less lamps turn on, charge the battery until
3 lamps turn on.
Always put on the protective cap when storing
the battery.

● Be sure to store the disconnected battery with the protective cap on it.
Exposed contacts can cause short circuits and lead to a fire or battery rupture.
TIP • If you are unable to charge the battery
Refer to "14. Troubleshooting, Repairs, Warranty".
• If the vehicle has traveled a long distance or on a long uphill grade, or if it has
been left outside in the cold for a long time, the battery temperature may not be
suitable for charging.
In such a case, the charger may not start charging (remains in standby mode)
until the battery has reached a suitable temperature.
