STORAGE

Leaving the battery connected to a trickle load or power electronics will cause the battery to discharge during storage. Without any load, the battery will self-discharge by approximately 3.5% per month while in storage. After storage, charge the battery to 100% SOC and perform at least one full discharge and charge cycle before returning the battery to service.

Store at 95% SOC or more. To store the battery for up to 6 months, store the battery at 95% SOC or more. It must remain disconnected from all loads and power electronics during storage.
Switch OFF the battery. Set the battery to OFF.
Check SOC every six months. Recharge the battery to above 95% SOC every six months.
Proper storage temperature. Ensure storage is within the temperatures specified below.
- 1 Month storage temperature -20°C to 55°C (-4°F to 131°F)
- 6 Month storage temperature -10°C to 30°C (14°F to 86°F)

NOTICE

VOID WARRANTY

Leaving the battery connected to a load or power electronics during storage may cause it to discharge, resulting in irreversible damage and voiding the warranty.
Storing the battery outside the specified temperature range will result in irreversible damage and void the warranty.

Failure to follow these instructions may result in equipment damage.

NOTICE

BATTERY DAMAGE

Storing or leaving the battery at 0% SOC will result in irreversible damage and void the warranty.
If the battery is stored in a cold environment, it may become frozen and may not accept a charge. Be aware of your battery’s supported Charge Temperature range (refer to Environmental Specifications) and recharge before it approaches 0% SOC.
Allowing the battery to self-discharge below an open-circuit voltage of 3.0 VPC will cause irreversible damage and void the warranty.

Failure to follow these instructions may result in equipment damage.
