General Information
For best results, put batteries in a cool, dry storage location. Prevent fluctuations (changes) in the temperature at the storage location. When a large number of batteries are kept in storage, make sure the older batteries are used first.
Remember, a measurement of no-load voltage will not give the correct indication of the battery condition. Battery voltage must be measured under normal operating conditions. If the battery voltage is low and there is more than one battery in the piece of equipment, a replacement of all batteries at the same time is necessary.
