Battery + Charger Off-Season Storage
1. Do not expose your battery packs or charger to water,
rain or allow them to get wet. This could permanently
damage the charger and the battery packs. Do not use oil
or solvents to clean or lubricate your battery packs as the
plastic casing can become brittle and crack, causing a
serious risk of injury.
2. Store the battery packs and charger at room temperature
away from moisture. Do not store in damp locations where
corrosion of terminals may occur. As with other battery
pack types, permanent capacity loss can result if the pack
is stored for long periods of time at high temperatures (over
120ºF/49ºC).
3. 24V* IONMAX lithium-ion battery packs maintain their
charge during storage longer than other battery pack
types. As a general practice, it is best to unplug the battery
charger and remove the battery packs when they are not
in use. Recharge the battery packs every 6 months to 50%
capacity (2 lights on) during off-season storage to maintain
optimal battery performance.
