FAQs about Storing new EK with batteries
How do you store a lithium ion battery?
In general lithium-ion batteries should always be removed from the devices they power and stored at 60-70% of the pack's capacity. If a battery will go unused for three more days, it should be stored in a cabinet or larger store. Once disconnected, storing lithium-ion batteries follows similar principles as the correct storage of chemicals.
How do you store a battery?
Batteries of different types or from different manufacturers can react with each other, causing leakage or other damage. If you are storing disposable (non-rechargeable) batteries, avoid storing new and used batteries together. Separate containers are ideal. If you plan to use one container, place each type of battery in its own plastic bag.
How do you store a 9v battery?
It's also a good idea to get some plastic 9V battery protectors which cover the posts and prevent accidental contact. Another option is to cover the posts with electrical tape while in storage. As easy as it may be to have a dedicated “battery drawer” or to store loose batteries in a plastic zipper bag together, it's not a great idea.
Where should a rechargeable battery be stored?
Some good 'inaccessible' locations include inside a locked cabinet/drawer, in a childproof storage box, or at the very least, on a high shelf. If you didn't know, rechargeable batteries have different charge level requirements for storing.
Can you store a battery in a plastic bag?
As easy as it may be to have a dedicated “battery drawer” or to store loose batteries in a plastic zipper bag together, it's not a great idea. Batteries can easily come into contact with each other, which can cause a short circuit, or at the very least cause them to discharge and become drained.
What temperature should a battery be stored?
When it comes to temperature, battery storage is actually pretty easy. The ideal temperature for alkaline batteries is about 60°F, while the preferred range for lithium batteries is between 68°F and 77°F. That being said, all batteries will keep just fine as long as they're within the general range of what would be considered room temperature.
