3-3.  Battery Care.  Never allow a battery to be stored for more than a few hours in a  discharged  condition.    Prior  to  storage,  each  battery  should  be  fully  charged. These batteries will self-discharge at the rate of 2-3% per month if stored at +68F and   10-15%   per   month   if   stored   at   +104F.      Batteries   in   storage   should   be recharged  at  2-3  month  intervals  then  returned  to  storage.    If  this  procedure  is followed, the batteries should be ready for immediate use if time is not available for recharging  prior  to  the  airdrop.    Battery  life  is  halved  for  each  20°F  increase  in temperature   above   normal   room   temperature.      Avoid   storing   batteries   in   an excessively  warm  area.    Protect  the  batteries  from  rough  handling  or  blows  which may crack the case.  Even minor case cracks will allow the gelled electrolyte within the battery to dry out, thus rendering the battery useless. 3-6
