4.2.1 Storage
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. These 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 in can greatly affect the health of the battery. For
best results, the temperature should remain moderate, between 41°F and 68°F (5°C and
20°C). Keep the battery away from locations where it may get wet or locations with high
humidity (>55%). Store the batteries away from combustible materials.
