Length of service from each charging will depend on the

The batteries for this product have been designed to provide 
maximum trouble-free life. However, like all batteries, they 
will eventually wear out. Do not disassemble battery pack

result in a serious burn.

charged and ready for use.
For battery pack storage longer than 30 days:
  Store the battery pack where the temperature is below 
80°F and away from moisture. 
  Store battery packs in a 30%-50% charged condition.
  Every six months of storage, charge the pack as 
normal.

charged and ready for use.
