Once charged, remove the battery from the
Oxygen Concentrator. For 1 year of storage,
it is recommended the battery remains within
a temperature range of -4°F to +68°F (-20°C
to +20°C). Every 6 months charge the battery
between 50% and 75% (two to three LEDs) and
remove it from the Oxygen Concentrator. For 3
months of storage, it is recommended that the
battery remains within a temperature range of
-4°F to +104°F (-20°C to +40°C). For 1 month of
storage, it is recommended that the battery remains
within a temperature range of -4°F to +122°F
