pack is needed.
To prevent permanent damage to the battery,
never store in a fully discharged condition.
WINTER STORAGE - Fully recharge before storage
and then again every 90 days.
Since the battery will not develop a memory, it does
not have to be fully discharged before recharging.
A small leakage of liquid from the battery cells may occur
under extreme usage, charging or temperature conditions.
This does not indicate a failure. However, if the outer seal is
broken and this leakage gets on your skin.
