Storage and Environment Requirements
Temperatures
o
To achieve maximum life of EnergyCell batteries, it is recommended not to operate them in
average ambient temperatures outside the range of 68°F to 86°F (20°C to 30°C). High operating
temperatures will shorten a battery’s life (see page 7).
o
Do not allow batteries to freeze, as this will damage them and could result in leakage.
o
Do not expose batteries to temperature variations of more than 5°F (3°C). This leads to voltage
imbalance between multiple batteries (or between battery cells if there is a temperature differential).
o
Batteries should be stored in a cool, dry location. The best storage temperature is 77°F (25°C), but
a range of –4°F to 104°F (–20°C to 40°C) is acceptable.
