Do not wet the exposed metal part of the battery charge terminals. Do not use solvents or scouring agents. Example s of approved solvents are Cidex® and Windex®. Consult Anton/Bauer Customer Support Group for approved list of cleaning agents. Periodic cleaning of both the charger terminals and battery terminals will ensure continued reliable operation. Clean the terminals occasionally with a pencil eraser or lightly scrape the surface with a blunt instrument to help reduce the likely hood of buildup causing poor communication or charging. Contact Anton/Bauer Customer Support Group with additional inquires as to maintenance.
  Storage

• CAUTION! Keep batteries cool or at room temperatures whenever possible. Sustained elevated temperatures are the primary reason for premature failure of Lithium-Ion batteries.

• CAUTION! Charge batteries at room temperature. In warm climates keep chargers in air conditioned rooms for best performance.

• CAUTION! Although Lithium-ion has good self-discharge characteristics, batteries should be stored for long term storage in a fully charged condition.

• CAUTION! Batteries should always be stored in a fully charged state and kept cool. If batteries must be stored for a long period (over 30 days), the battery electronics will enter a “deep sleep” mode. The battery will “wake up” when placed on a charger. It is always a good idea to submit the battery to a discharge/charge cycle from time to time during storage.

Air Transportation Regulation

• US Code of Federal Regulations Title 49 Subtitle B.
• International Air Transport Associations (IATA)
• Dangerous Goods Regulation (DGR).
• International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) regulations apply to all Lithium-Ion battery transport.
• Since the interpretation and application of regulations may vary with the aviation company, the transport of the Anton/Bauer Titon Series battery may be  disallowed even when the conditions described above are satisfied.
• Anton/Bauer therefore strongly recommends that you consult with your transportation company prior to transporting the battery pack.
