Transport and storage
4.1
Receiving
Upon receipt of a shipment, check that the items delivered are undamaged and match the
carrier’s Bill of Lading. Report any damage or shortages to the carrier. Your supplier is
not responsible for shipment damage or shortages that the receiver does not report to the
carrier.
4.2
Storage Conditions and Time
If a battery cannot be installed immediately it should be stored in a clean, cool, dry area.
4.2.1 The batteries must not be stacked. We recommend, for simple handling during transport
and storage, to place the cells on a pallet and fix them. Protect the cells from dust and
contamination with a plastic cover.
4.2.2 The relative humidity of max. 90% RH (non-condensing) should not be exceeded.
4.2.3 The storage ambient temperature should be between -15°C and 30°C, details see also
4.2.4 Do not expose the cells and batteries permanently to direct sunlight.
Care must be taken on cleanliness. When cleaning, please note the remarks in chapter:
Cleaning and visual inspection.
4.2.5 During storage batteries lose capacity through
self-discharge
.
High temperature increases the rate of self-discharge and reduces the storage life.
The chart below shows the relationship between open-circuit voltages (OCV) and storage
time at various temperatures:
