Battery Storage
When storing your batteries for a long period of time:
· Charge your batteries every 30 days to avoid capacity loss. Batteries will self-discharge
slowly when left unused for a long period of time; if the battery cells are allowed to reach
a critically low voltage, their lifespan and capacity will be permanently reduced.
· Always disconnect your charger from the wall outlet and battery before storing the
battery.
· Avoid storing your batteries in extreme temperatures, whether hot or cold.
· Batteries are best kept in a cool, dry place. Do not allow batteries to accumulate
condensation, as this could cause shorting or corrosion.
· The recommended storage temperature for both SLA and LI-ion batteries is between
32-77 ° F (0-25 ° C).
· Avoid exposing the battery to extreme heat (104° F or higher) for long periods of time.
FAQ
Q: Is it normal that the batteries get warm when recharging?
A: Yes, it is normal that the batteries will become warm to the touch during the recharging
process. This is because the increase of internal resistance and less energy conversion
efficiency from electric energy to chemical energy.
Q: How long will my batteries last before needing replacement?
A: Average battery life depends on use and conditions. Even with proper care, rechargeable
batteries do not last forever. Conservatively, an SLA battery will come to the end of its useful
after ~350 full discharge/charge cycles, while Li-ion batteries will last more than 800
cycles. A partial charge/discharge counts fractionally against those numbers; running the
battery down halfway then recharging it completely uses up one half of a charge cycle.
"End of useful life" refers to the point at which a battery can no longer supply 60% of its
original rated capacity in ampere-hours. After this point, the aging process will accelerate
and the battery will need to be replaced.
