How to store batteries?
FollowUpon receiving Nortek batteries, it's essential to handle them with care and follow specific procedures:
Receiving Batteries:
- Ensure that batteries are received with their connections disconnected.
- Check each battery for its production date (MM/YY) to monitor age and shelf life.
- Perform a visual inspection to verify that batteries are undamaged and free from leaks or other issues.
- Consider creating an inventory log upon receipt, especially for larger quantities, to track production dates and prioritize use based on the principle of first-in-first-out (FIFO).
Storage Guidelines:
- Rechargeable lithium-ion batteries should be stored within a state of charge between 15% and 45% to maintain optimal health during storage.
- Store batteries in a controlled environment with temperatures between 0°C to 20°C and relative humidity below 65%.
- Keep batteries away from water, direct heat, and sunlight to prevent degradation.
- Ensure that there are no opportunities for the battery terminals to short circuit during storage.
- Non-rechargeable (primary) batteries generally store well under standard conditions, but it's still advisable to keep them in a cool, dry place.
Adhering to these procedures will help ensure the safe and effective storage of Nortek batteries, preserving their quality and performance until they are ready for use.
