Batteries should be activated in a device within two years after receiving when properly stored.
If devices are stored for an extended period of time (over 3 months) with batteries installed,
then disconnect the battery plug from the jack to prevent a potential short circuit.
Storing batteries for longer than two years in ideal storage conditions may result in loss of
