No. The robot and its lithium-ion battery must be stored in room temperature environments only.
For long-term storage, follow this procedure:
- Remove the robot from the Home Base.
- Hold down the CLEAN button for 10 seconds. All indicators will turn off. This turns the battery off.
- Store the robot in a cool, dry place indoors.
If that's not possible and you must ship or store it elsewhere, the battery must be turned off using the steps above to meet safety regulations. Package the robot securely.
Heads up: Do not open, crush, or heat the battery above 176°F (80°C). Do not short-circuit the terminals. Periodically inspect the battery pack for damage or leakage. Do not charge a damaged battery.
