3.8.3. Shelf Life
The batteries are shipped from Sealed Energy Systems with between
20% and 30% rated capacity and this provides a minimum of 6
months’ shelf life, when stored at 25°C. If the storage temperature
exceeds 25°C over the 6-month period, then the shelf life will be
reduced and provisions should be made to recharge the battery
periodically.
In order to prevent parasitic drain on the battery, the electronics will
go into a shutdown mode if any cell voltage <= 2300mV. If this
should happen, the battery pack will require an initial low charge to
activate the electronics prior to the implementation of the normal
charge. Any SMBus version 1.0, or higher, compatible charger is
capable of providing this initial pre-charge.
