8.2. Each section should be charged fully before use of the battery, especially when used in series mode, to
keep each section of the pack in balance and prevent over discharge of one section.
8.3. NOTE: Charge times will vary based on charge current used, lower currents result in longer times.
8.4. Battery sections are recommended to be charged only individually or in parallel, however if charged in
parallel then charge time will increase. See Figure 3.

13. Shelf Life
13.1. Self-discharge due to cells is typically less than 2% per month.
13.2. The battery pack should retain greater than 95% of the initial capacity when stored for 1 year under
ambient conditions when tested per the capacity test in section 11.
13.3. The battery pack should retain greater than 90% of the initial capacity when stored for 1 year at
temperatures above ambient and below 45°C when tested per the capacity test in section 11
13.4. The battery should retain greater than 85% of the initial of the initial capacity when stored for 6
months at temperatures above 45°C and below 60°C when tested per the capacity test in section 11.
13.5. The PCB with State of Charge Indication LCD, when in sleep mode (no current flow for more than 2
seconds), will consume current at an average of 0.35mA or a capacity of 8.4mAh per day. This is in
addition to the cell self discharge. This occurs for each pack section independently.
13.6. The PCB with State of Charge Indication LCD, when in awake mode (current flow), will consume
current at an average of 0.8 mA or a capacity of 19.2 mAh per day. This is in addition to the cell self
discharge. This occurs for each pack section independently.

18.2.1. CHARGE INSTRUCTIONS: Charge each section at maximum 16.8V constant voltage with
current of 3.0A (max 4.8A). Recommended battery temperature during charging should be
between 32°F (0°C) and 113°F (45°C). Lower temperat ure charging is permitted but run times
will be lower.
18.2.2. WARNING/ STORAGE: Store at 50% capacity. Do not store above 140°F (60°C), Crush,
Mutilate, Reverse Polarity, Disassemble, or Dispose of in Fire.
18.3. The label shall be legible and free from visible defects such as wrinkles and cracks.
