※ Avoid battery over discharge, especially battery sereis connection use.
Charge the batteries at least once every six months,

if they are stored at 25 C.
Charging Method: In general, recharge capacity should be 1.1-1.15 times discharge capacity.

Constant Voltage -0.2Cx2h+14.4-14.7Vx24h,Max. Current 0.3C ※ Effect of temperature on cycle charge voltage: -4mV/℃/Cell.
