Storage Voltages:
• Although the Primal charger does not offer discharge capabilities it is important to understand this information about your batteries since it
is critical to both the safety of the battery and the cycle life.
› Always consult the battery manufacturer's documentation for storage information specific to that battery.
» WARNING: You should NEVER store LiPo batteries at full charge for more than a few hours at
most (and they should be stored at temps of 40-75 degrees Fahrenheit whenever possible to help
prevent swelling and/or loss of performance/capacity).
› LiPo batteries should be charged (or discharged depending on their state prior to storage) to approximately 50% of their rated
capacity (approximately 3.85V per cell). The storage time at this voltage should not exceed 6 months and a use cycle and return to
storage mode is recommended every 3 months.
› The storage voltage of NiXX batteries is not as critical as LiPo but they should be stored in cool conditions and at a low cell voltage to
prevent memory buildup and loss of capacity and performance.
