Storing the battery
Lithium ion batteries have a smart battery management system (BMS) that uses
a small amount of po er to monitor the battery at all times. The amount used is
very small but if you store the battery fully discharged, in just a fe
BMS can run out of power.
If this happens, the battery can never be used again. As a result, we strongly rec-
ommend you follo these instructions carefully:
CAREFUL!
• Charge the battery fully before storing it.
• Always store the battery with the key in the OFF position.
• Charge the battery fully at least every 2 months.

ty it must be disposed of. .
