The Dyson V7 Motorhead Charging and storage

Caution:

• This machine will switch “OFF” if the battery temperature is below 37.4°F (3°C). This is designed to protect the motor and battery. Do not charge the machine and then move it to an area with a temperature below 37.4°F (3°C) for storage purposes.
• To help prolong battery life, avoid recharging immediately after a full discharge. Allow to cool for a few minutes.
