| Charge your new battery overnight (14-16 hours) before using it. This is referred to as 'initializing' and will enable you to obtain maximum battery capacity. Stabilize the battery to room temperature 72 degrees before charging. Charging below 40 degrees and above 104 degrees will decrease battery life. |

| Batteries that have been in storage for more than 60 days should be fully discharged and recharged overnight (14-16 hours). Never leave your battery in the charger when it doesn't need charging. Continuous charging will shorten battery life. Only charge your battery when it needs charging. Don't return a charged battery to charger for an extra boost. There is no extra boost. This will significantly reduce battery life. |

| Only battery conditioners allow the end user to leave the battery in the charger for extended periods of time without reducing cycle life or damaging the battery. Do not leave the battery exposed to direct sunlight or extreme heat for extended periods of time. |
