perature ranges:
– Charging: 5°C to 40°C
– Use: - 10 °C to + 40 °C
– Storage: - 20 °C to + 50 °C
If the battery is charged, used or stored outside
the recommended temperature ranges, perform‐
ance may be reduced.
If the battery is wet or moist, allow the battery to
dry for at least 48 h between 15°C and 50°C and
