    Ambient Temperature Voltage
    Above 20 °C 9.6V
    ~ 18 °C 9.5V
    ~ 10 °C 9.4V
    ~ 4 °C 9.3V
    ~ -1 °C 9.1V
    ~ -7 °C 8.9V
    ~ -12°C 8.7V
  2. When the voltage is not within specification, repeat the load test again, and recharge.
  3. If the battery is left alone for 2 hours after recharging and its output is over 12.5V, and the voltage after a load test is over the standard value, the battery can be used.
