The battery should be stored in a cool (−15 to 40 ℃) dry and clean room, away from direct sunlight.
The battery loses capacity during storage due to self-discharge, and its first discharge capacity will be lower than the rated capacity, generally it can reach its rated capacity after 2-3 charge and discharge cycles.
When the battery is stored for a long time without use, it needs to be recharged regularly, and the recharging cycle is shown in (Table 1).
| Table 1 |
| Storage temperature | Recharge cycle |
| Below 20 oC(68oF): | 12 months |
| 20 to 30oC(68 to 86oF): | 6 months |
| 30 to 40oC(86 to 104oF): | 3 months |
