4.0 BATTERY STORAGE BEFORE INSTALLATION
4.1 General
Batteries should be unpacked, installed and charged as soon as possible after receipt.
However, if this is impractical, follow the instructions below for storing the battery before
installation.
Store the battery at a dry, clean and preferably cool and frost-free location. Temperature limits
for storage are -20°C (-68 °F) to +45°C (113 °F), Humidity < 90% RH. Self discharge will occur
when a battery is left at rest (without charge) and periodic freshening charge is required. Failure
to charge batteries at the required intervals may result in irreversible damage.
Batteries that were previously in service or previously installed must be fully charged before
storing for long periods of time.
Self discharge will increase:
• With natural aging of the cell
• Following faulty use such as excessive over-discharge, bad maintenance, or by the
addition of non-demineralized water
• Temperature rise
Do NOT stack pallets. DAMAGE MAY OCCUR AND THE WARRANTY WILL BE VOIDED.
