length of time the battery can be stored.
1. Long term storage: Greater than 3 months, 90 continuous days, and less than 6 months, 180
continuous days
2. Storage temperature and humidity range: 0°C to 30°C / 32°F to 86°F, 45% to 75% Relative
Humidity
3. Charge the battery to 50% SOC before putting it in storage mode
To prepare the battery for long term storage, you can charge the battery up to up to 50% before
putting it in storage mode. It is important to note that the environmental criteria is more stringent
than the short term storage, and if this criteria is not able to be met, then you cannot store the unit for
the extended length of time.
Following Long Term Storage, the lithium battery will need be cycled and calibrated to reflect the
correct SOC% and to ensure optimal performance.
Important Notes:
1. In order to avoid a cold and dead battery, it is highly recommended to utilize the Short Term Storage
method. Once a month, operate the battery system including discharging/charging the system and
verifying the battery SOC is between 50 to 100%.
2. At the lowest allowed storage temperature -20°C/-4°F, the dischargeable capacity is about 70% of the
rated capacity of the battery. Essentially, you are losing 30% of the amp hours. Instead of 210aH, it
will be closer to 147aH.
3. With the battery shut down and below 0°C /32°F in storage mode, the self-consumption rate of the
lithium cell is about 3% per month.
4. The maximum storage duration is 6 months.
5. Long Term storage is NOT RECOMMENDED when:
a. Below freezing temperature. This will minimize the lithium battery voltage loss during storage
and increase the recovery time caused by lower temperatures.
b. Temperatures are extreme over 60°C /140°F.
• Storing the battery outside of these environmental parameters: (-20°C to 35°C / -4°F to 95°F, 45% to
75% Relative Humidity) will trigger the low temperature cut off and the battery will be un-usable, and
can cause permanent damage. If exposure to environmental criteria outside of the aforementioned
parameters is needed please contact RENOGY at: renogy-oem@patrickind.com
