14.2Store inside, in a cool, dry place (unless you’re using an on-board Marine Charger).

14.3Do not store the clips on the handle, clipped together, on or around metal, or clipped to cables.

14.4If the charger is moved around the shop or transported to another location, take care to avoid/prevent damage to the cords, clips and charger. Failure to do so could result in personal injury or property damage.
