Storing Lithium-ion Batteries and Cells
Learn the best practices for long-term Outbax lithium battery storage. Our guide covers ideal charge levels, temperatures, and tips to
Lithium battery storage buildings with climate control are ideal for storing bulk quantities of Li-ion batteries at specific temperatures to ensure a safe storage environment. Also, be aware of the state of charge while storing. Nickel and lithium-ion batteries should be stored at around 40% state of charge.
The best voltage to store lithium batteries and cells at is around 60 to 70 percent of their maximum charge voltage. Doing this final step will ensure that your batteries don't experience damage from the volatile nature of the chemistry inside the cell.
Temperature is vital for understanding how to store lithium batteries. The recommended storage temperature for most is 59° F (15° C)—but that's not the case across the board. So, before storing lithium batteries, thoroughly read labels on proper storage for your specific battery type.
Storing lithium batteries in a well-ventilated area is important for safety. You don't want to seal batteries in an airtight container, especially not a large number of them together, because if a battery were ever to overheat or release gas, that pressure needs to escape.
