    10. For prolonged storage, follow the battery storage requirements; refer to Battery Storage Requirements.

    11. Cover the machine to protect it and keep it clean.

    Battery Storage Requirements

    Note: You do not need to remove the batteries from the machine for storage.

    Refer to the temperature limits for storage in the following table:

    Temperature Limits for Storage

    Storage TemperatureAppropriate Storage Time
    45° to 55°C (113° to 131°F)1 week
    25° to 45°C (77° to 113°F) 3 weeks
    -20° to 25°C (-4° to 77°F)52 weeks

    Important: Temperatures outside of these ranges will damage your batteries.The temperature that the batteries are stored at will affect their long-term life. Storage for long periods of time at extreme temperatures will reduce the battery life. For temperatures above 25°C (77°F), only store the machine for the appropriate amount of time indicated in the table.

    • Before you store the machine, charge or discharge the batteries between 40% to 60% (54.3V to 57.3V).

      Note: A 50% charge is optimal to ensure a maximum battery life. When the batteries are charged to 100% before storage, the battery life shortens.If you anticipate that the machine will be stored for a longer period of time, charge the batteries to around 60%.

    • For every 6 months of storage, check the battery-charge level and ensure that it is between 40% to 60%. If the charge is below 40%, charge the batteries between 40% to 60%.

    • You can use a multimeter to check the charge level when the machine is off. Refer to the following table for the amount of voltage that is equal to the charge level:

      VoltageCharge Level
      57.3V60%
      55.4V50%
      54.3V40%

    • After charging the batteries, disconnect the battery charger plug from power during storage to minimize the discharging of the batteries.

    • If you leave the charger plug connected to power, it will shut off after the batteries are fully charged and does not turn back on unless the charger plug is disconnected and reconnected.
