Battery Charging and Capacity
This unit is delivered in a partially charged state – you must fully charge it before using it for the first time.
When stored at room temperature with a full charge, Li-ion batteries will begin to discharge from the time they are manufactured, even when unused. Deep discharges also decrease their capacity. Battery life can be extended by the following:

• Charge battery to full capacity before storage.
• Optimal storage temperature for this unit is between 5°C and 20°C (41°F and 68°F).
• Never discharge the battery fully.
• Charge after each use.
• Always charge at least once every 3-6 months if not in frequent use to prevent overdischarge.

Transportation of Lithium-Ion Batteries

• Always check all applicable local, national, and international regulations before transporting a unit containing a Lithium-Ion battery.
• Transporting an end-of-life, damaged, or recalled battery may, in certain cases, be specifically limited or prohibited.
