Battery Care & Storage: To maximize the health and lifespan of your rechargeable battery, please see below these storage and maintenance recommendations:
Charge the battery before storing the Hub for an extended period.
Do not store the battery in a discharged or very low-charge state, as it may become completely discharged over time, potentially causing permanent damage and preventing it from recharging again.
Before long-term storage, check that the battery has sufficient charge, and recharge it if needed.
Store the battery in a cool, dry environment between 15–25°C (59–78°F) with a relative humidity of 20–70%.
If storing the Hub for an extended period, remove the battery from the Hub where possible.
Recharge the battery at least once every six months during long-term storage to help maintain battery health.
Before using the Hub again after storage, check the battery charge level and recharge it as needed.
