Always try to keep the battery between 15°C and 25°C (59°F
and 77°F). Extreme temperatures reduce the capacity and
lifetime of the battery. A device with a hot or cold battery
may not work temporarily. Battery performance is
particularly limited in temperatures well below freezing.
Do not short-circuit the battery. Accidental short-circuiting

causes direct connection of the positive (+) and negative
(-) terminals of the battery. (These look like metal strips on
