Risk of injury from damaged battery

• Do not drop or mishandle the battery.
• If the battery is leaking or damaged move to a well ventilated area.

If you are planning not to use your AM1 for a long period, the following points should be noted before storage to prevent damage to your AM1 or degradation of your AM1 battery:

• Charge the battery to 60-80% of its capacity;
• Remove the battery from your AM1 before you store it;
• Do not leave the battery in an area where children and animals can reach it;
• Protect your AM1 battery from liquids;
• Store between the temperatures listed in the battery safety section. Ideally around 15°C;
• Make sure that the battery is not exposed to temperatures listed in the battery safety section during storage;
• If you plan to store the battery for over 3 months, make sure the battery is charged at least every 3-6 months. Again you should charge the battery to between 60-80% when recharging;
• Do not leave the battery plugged into the charger for long periods when the battery is fully charged;
• Make sure the charger is unplugged from the mains outlet when you have finished charging the battery up to 60-80%;
• Make sure the battery terminals on the base are protected from short circuit. Use some insulating tape to cover the terminals if you are unsure;

To store the AM1 itself:

• Ensure your AM1 is clean as per the cleaning page;
• Protect your AM1 from all environmental conditions: rain, snow, frost, dust and dirt during storage;
• Make sure it is insulated from major fluctuations in temperature;
• To keep the tyres in good condition, suspend your AM1 by hanging it from its frame;
