Battery Storage and Handling
If the Aircraft is to be put in storage for an extended period of time (> 6 months),
disconnect the battery cable to eliminate drain from the Aircraft’s electrical system. A fully
charged battery can be put in storage for up to a year without charging, but should be
charged and inspected annually.
Our batteries can be stored at temperatures between
-
40°C to +70°C. Our batteries have no
liquid inside and will not freeze.
Special care must be taken in the handling, shipping, and storage of rechargeable lithium
batteries. As a result, installers, end users, and personnel involved in the maintenance, and
disposal of rechargeable lithium batteries requires training in the special characteristics
related to rechargeable lithium battery safety. Leaving battery output terminals or leads
exposed may result in external short-circuiting of the battery during shipping, handling,
testing and installation. Terminals of batteries shall be covered with non-conductive
protective devices to avoid any possibility of shorting during handling, shipping, and storage.
Do not incinerate or expose to open flames!
The MSDS is available on EarthX’s website.
