13 Storage
Observe the maximum storage period for commissioning
To benefit from the full performance of a battery module, it has to be commissioned in the period defined in the
liability conditions.
Each individual battery module can potentially cause a fire. Any damage to a battery module will increase the fire risk.
To minimize the risks during storage, the following points must be observed:
• The locally applicable fire regulations must be observed during storage at all times.
• Store as few battery modules together in one place as possible.
• Store the battery modules in a dry location.
• Handle the packages with care.
• Avoid transporting the battery modules unnecessarily.
• Ideal ambient temperature for storage and transport for more than 1 month: 0°C to +35°C
• Permissible ambient temperature for storage and transport for a maximum of 1 month: -20°C to +45°C
• Relative humidity, non-condensing: 5% to 95%
• Maximum altitude above MSL (Mean Sea Level): ≤3000m
• Clearly label the storage room from the outside as a lithium-ion battery storage location. In the event of a fire, the
fire department must be called and the storage room for lithium-ion batteries must be pointed out upon their
arrival.
