GEL batteries naturally lose charge over time. Common storage problems include:
- Self-Discharge: Even when unused, the battery slowly drains energy.
- Extreme Temperatures: Hot storage conditions accelerate self-discharge, while freezing temperatures can damage the electrolyte.
- Lack of Maintenance Charging: Long storage without recharging leads to irreversible capacity loss.
For proper storage, keep the battery in a cool, dry place and recharge it every 3-6 months.
