Correct storage of Ni-Cd batteries is crucial to preserve their performance and safety.
Best Storage Conditions
- Charge State: Store batteries at about 40–60% charge. Never store them fully discharged.
- Temperature: Ideal storage temperature is between 0°C and 25°C (32°F and 77°F).
- Humidity: Low humidity environments prevent terminal corrosion.
Do’s
- Store batteries in a cool, dry place.
- Recharge every few months during long storage periods.
- Keep batteries away from metal objects that could cause short circuits.
Don’ts
- Do not expose to direct sunlight or freezing temperatures.
- Avoid stacking heavy objects on top of stored batteries.
