Storage:
− Store unused batteries in their original packaging and keep them away from metal objects which may short-
circuit them. Storing unpackaged cells together could result in cell shorting and heat build-up.
− Store and display batteries in there original packaging in well ventilated, dry and cool conditions.
− Avoid storing or display batteries in direct sun or in places where they get exposed to rain
− The normal storage of Lithium-ion Polymer Battery Pack is made at temperature between +10°C and +25°C,
never exceeding +30°C In this way the maximum shelf-life (i.e. max. retention of cell performances after storage
periods) of Lithium-ion Polymer Battery Pack is achieved. Storage temperatures above room temperature will
increase the rate of self-discharge, reducing the available capacity of the cell. Humidity above 95% R.H. and
below 40% R.H. should also be avoided for sustained periods, as these extremes are detrimental to batteries.
Storing the cells at low temperature is also suggested, but attention must be paid when transferring the cells to
warmer environments, because of the possibility of having water condensing on to the cells (risk of short-
circuits).
− Do not stack battery cartons on top of each other exceeding a specified height. The height is clearly dependent
on the strength of the packaging. As for general rule this height should not exceed 1.5 m for cardboard
packages or 3 m for wooden cases. The above recommendations are equally valid for storage conditions during
prolonged transit. Thus, batteries should be stored away from ship engines and not left for long periods in
unventilated metal box cars (containers) during summer.
Section VIII - Exposure Controls / Personal Protection
