STORAGE AND TRANSPORTATION
• To improve the lifetime and security of your battery, please shutdown the battery
for storage and transportation. The shutdown mode prevents self-discharge.
• To avoid progressive battery discharge (so called SELF-DISCHARGE*) which can
cause a DEEP DICHARGE MODE**, please do not store fully charged battery packs
for more than 6 months without use. If you have several batteries please use them
all or alternate amongst them.
• Please refer to our separate TRAVELLING BY AIR AS A PASSENGER Instructions
(73042, orange leaflet) for current transportation regulations.
*SELF-DISCHARGE MODE
Small losses of charge are observed during storage of a charged battery (self-discharge), which is a natural
process. These losses are more important while the BMS (Battery Management System) is ON. Turning the
battery pack OFF can help to reduce battery self-discharge by up to 100 times.
To limit the self-discharge losses, please shut your battery down for transportation and storage.
**DEEP DISCHARGE MODE
If the battery is not recharged over a long period of time (several months or more), the self-discharge process
may progressively cause the battery to enter a state of DEEP DISCHARGE.

removed,
the battery will return to the normal mode automatically.
