How to store the batteries:
If you’re planning to solely enjoy the blazing sun and beach life during the summer, give the batteries a good charge before putting them away. This way, you avoid the batteries being empty and discharged when the cold returns.
- Charge the battery to about 50-80% for long-term storage (over 2 months).
- Repeat every 2-3 months. This is crucial to prevent deep discharge, which can cause irreparable damage to the battery cells and significantly reduce battery life. In the worst case, the battery may stop working.
- The optimal storage for the batteries is in a temperate and dry place.
- The ideal storage temperature is between 20-25°C (68-77°F) and less than 50% humidity.
- Avoid direct sunlight and preferably store the batteries in a fireproof container for extra safety.
- It’s important to occasionally check the batteries and give them a light charge if necessary.
Also, see the maintenance charging information in the user manual that came with your product.
Remember!
A little bit of care goes a long way in extending the lifespan of your batteries.
