- 1). Place the batteries into a plastic container, and put the lid on.
- 2). Store the container in a dry environment with a relatively steady temperature. Avoid extreme hot and cold environments. Stay between 4 and 85 degrees F. Avoid moisture exposure.
- 3). Do not store batteries where corrosive gases are present.
- 4). Charge at least once a year for optimum shelf life.
- 5). Revive stored batteries before use. Do not overcharge the batteries when they come out of storage.
- 6). Use the general rule of switching out stored batteries: "first in, first out," which means that the first battery you put into the container should be the first one you take out of the container.
