11 Storage, Dismantling and Disposal

11.1Storage

Long storage times without occasionally recharging or discharging can lead to permanent damage to the battery.

If the battery is stored at room temperature (20°C to 30°C), there will be a spontaneous self-discharge due to inner reactions of 3 to 6% a month. Please avoid storage at temperatures above room temperature. High storage temperature will lead to the increased self-discharge of the battery.

To retain full capacity and service life, batteries stored at room temperature should be recharged every six months.
