How to store lead acid batteries
All lead acid batteries discharge when in storage – a process known as ‘calendar fade’ – so the right environment and active maintenance are essential to ensure the batteries maintain their ability to achieve fill capacity.
Temperature
The ideal storage temperature is 25°C .
In general terms the higher the temperature, the more chemical activity there is and the faster a sealed lead acid battery will discharge when in storage.
When it comes to the cold electrolyte in a fully charged battery can withstand temperatures down to -33°F (-36°C) before freezing. When fully discharged the electrolyte is basically water so it will freeze at 32°F (0°C).
humidness
The ideal storage humidity is 50%
Some terminals that seal lead-acid batteries can begin to rust under very wet conditions. Surface rust can be quickly removed with sandpaper or baking soda mixed with water, but if there is severe corrosion, this will create an uneven surface on the terminal, which can cause connection problems when trying to use the battery.
If you are in an area with high humidity and the terminals are made of metal that will rust, then apply them with grease to provide a waterproof layer.
