18. Storage and stock rotation
1. For normal storage, the temperature should be between +10 °C and +25 °C and never exceed +30 °C. Extremes of
humidity (over 95% and below 40% relative humidity) for sustained periods should be avoided since they are detrimental to
both batteries and packing. Therefore, batteries should not be stored next to radiators or boilers, in boxcars or direct sunlight,
or next to other sources of heat.
2. Although the storage life of batteries at room temperature is good, storage is improved at lower temperature provided that
special precautions are taken. The batteries should be enclosed in special protective packing (such as sealed plastic bags or
variants), which should be retained to protect them from condensation during the time they are warming to ambient
temperature. Accelerated warming is harmful.
3. The height to which batteries may be stacked is clearly dependent on the strength of the pack. As a general guide, this
height should not exceed 1.5m for cardboard packs or 3.0m for wooden cases.
4. 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.
5. Batteries should be dispatched promptly after manufacture and in rotation to distribution centers and on to the user. In order
to stock rotation (first-in, first-out) can be practiced, storage areas and displays should be properly and packs should be
adequately marked.
