If you need to store your LiFePO4 battery for an extended period, follow these guidelines to maintain its health:
- Charge to 50%-60% Before Storage: A partial charge reduces stress on the cells during inactivity.
- Store in a Cool, Dry Place: Ideal storage temperature is between 10°C–25°C (50°F–77°F). Avoid humid or extremely cold environments.
- Check Voltage Every 3-6 Months: If the voltage drops significantly, recharge to 50% to prevent deep discharge.
- Avoid Long-Term Full Discharge: Storing a fully drained LiFePO4 battery can lead to irreversible capacity loss.
Proper storage ensures your battery remains in top condition when you’re ready to use it again.
