Daily maintenance of batteries

　　Properly storing batteries can not only extend their lifespan, but also eliminate safety hazards. Here are some simple and practical battery storage rules to help you store batteries correctly:

　　Store the battery in a dedicated battery storage box. This can prevent the battery from being affected by environmental factors (such as humid environments). At the same time, it can avoid mixing new batteries, fully charged batteries, and old batteries, and also prevent the battery poles from coming into contact with other metals.

　　Store the battery in a cool and dry environment. When storing batteries, it is important to avoid storing them in areas that may be exposed to moisture or extreme temperatures to prevent deterioration of the battery. The battery can be stored in an environment at 60 degrees Fahrenheit (15 degrees Celsius) or slightly above this temperature.

　　Keep the battery charged at 40% capacity. Rechargeable batteries containing nickel or lithium chemicals should be stored at 40% capacity to reduce battery degradation caused by aging.

　　Avoid contact between the positive and negative poles of different batteries. Connecting the positive and negative poles of different batteries can cause short circuits and conductivity.

　　When not using the battery, please cover the battery head with a plastic battery cover. Some batteries (such as 9V batteries) will be equipped with plastic battery buckles to prevent battery current loss and conductivity during storage.

　　After using infrequently used appliances, please remove the battery from the appliance. Do not leave the battery in electrical equipment, as it will accelerate its self discharge process.

　　Do not store the battery in the refrigerator, as it will reduce its full charging capacity.

　　Undoubtedly, the best instructions for battery storage are the standards and recommendations provided by the battery supplier. But regarding the storage of different types of batteries, there are some basic tips as follows:

　　Lithium batteries have a theoretical temperature range of -20 ° C to 60 ° C, but it is recommended to maintain a storage temperature between 0 ° C and 25 ° C, with 15 ° C being the most ideal. When storing lithium batteries, the battery level should be maintained at (30% -50%).

　　Nickel cadmium batteries do not need to be charged and stored when not in use for a long time. However, the battery must be discharged to the termination voltage (the camera battery alarm light flashes) before being packaged and stored in the original packaging paper box or in a dry and ventilated place after being wrapped with cloth or paper.

　　Nickel hydrogen batteries should be stored with a 40% charge. Nickel hydrogen batteries have a more pronounced high self discharge rate, so they lose more charge during storage and require charging when used again.

　　Remember, the storage conditions of the battery depend on the active chemical substances used in the battery. During storage, batteries are prone to self discharge and their chemicals will decompose.

　　As long as you follow our tips and suggestions, your battery will be used more efficiently and for a longer period of time!
