## Li-Ion Battery Storage

- Store the Li-Ion Batteries between 20°C and 50°C max, however it is recommended to store the batteries between - 20°C and 25°C.
- When the Li-Ion Batteries are stored some self-discharge will occur.
- If you store the Li-Ion Batteries for longer than four weeks, only three of the Li-Ion Battery's LED indicators may light up.
- Recharge the Li-Ion Batteries every four weeks.
- Before re-use, recharge the Li-Ion Batteries fully.

## Checklist for Removing from Storage

- Charge all Li-Ion Batteries.
- Allow the device to reach room temperature before turning it on (or internal condensation may cause short circuits and damage the device).
- Check that storage space is available on the USB-C Flash Drive.
