Thermal characteristics

The operating temperature range is 0°C to +40°C (0°C to 30°C for overload conditions), however optimum operation is within the +20°C to +25°C range.

Battery backup time is adversely affected by high and low temperatures. It is significantly reduced at temperatures under 10°C.

Above 25°C, battery service life is cut in half every 10°C. Above 40°C, battery manufacturers no longer guarantee operation due to the risk of thermal runaway.
