15. Storage
Please follow these instructions for the safe storage of the unit to maintain the longevity of the battery, if
you choose not to install the product immediately after purchasing or unpacking the box.
There are a few steps you can take to ensure that batteries are stored safely and in a state that will
ensure they are not damaged during storage. The steps are detailed below.
Battery State
The state of the battery when placed into storage will affect how long it can be stored as well as the
battery’s condition when it is brought out of storage. EG4® recommends that each battery is brought to
a 100% SOC (state of charge) before placing it in storage. Lithium iron phosphate batteries will lose a
certain percentage of their total charge while in storage, depending on how long they are stored and the
conditions they are stored in. We recommend recharging the batteries after 8–9 months in prolonged
storage.
Environmental Factors
The environment you store your EG4® battery can greatly affect the health of the battery. For best
results, the temperature should range between 33°F and 90°F (0.6°C and 32°C). Mount the battery in a
location where it is not exposed to direct rain or standing water. Keep the battery away from direct
sunlight. Store the batteries away from combustible materials.
