FAQ's - Storing Lithium Batteries

How to store lithium batteries when not in use?

When not in use, lithium batteries should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. It's best to maintain a charge level of approximately 40% to 60%. This prevents the battery from entering a deep discharge state which can be harmful. Regularly check the batteries every few months to ensure they are maintained at this optimal charge level.

How long can a power tool battery be stored?

Power tool batteries, when stored correctly, can remain functional for up to two years without significant degradation. However, it's essential to store them under optimal conditions and check their charge periodically to maintain their health.

Should I remove the battery from the power tool for long-term storage?

Yes, it is advisable to remove the battery from the power tool if you plan on storing it for an extended period. This minimizes the risk of accidental activation and reduces the drain on the battery.

Should lithium batteries be stored full or empty?

Lithium batteries should ideally be stored with a charge level of about 40% to 60%. Storing the batteries either fully charged or completely empty can lead to reduced efficacy and lifespan. A partially charged state helps maintain battery health during inactive periods.
