State of New
Battery
The Enhanced VR battery is shipped in the charged state. The
open circuit voltage for a fully charged battery is approximately
2.15V/cell.
Storage
Conditions
• Store batteries in an upright position in a dry and cool
environment without exposure to direct sunlight.
• Provide adequate ventilation during storage.
• Do not stack pallets of batteries on top of each other during
storage.
Storage Time
Batteries may suffer irreversible capacity loss during long open
circuit stand. The maximum that a charged battery may remain
on open circuit is 6 months at 77°F. The open circuit time should
not exceed 4 months if the storage temperature exceeds 90°F.
The “charge by” date stamped on the shipping container is the
date the battery has been on open circuit for 6 months. If
batteries cannot be installed within this time period, follow the
procedures outlined in Table 6-A, “Initial Charging,” and record
the actions taken until normal installation can be initiated.
