Battery cabinet storage precautions

What are the safety precautions for storage batteries?

The general safety precautions for handling and storing alkaline batteries are the same as for lead-acid batteries with the following exceptions: The electrolyte in these batteries is alkaline but is similarly corrosive. This should be cleaned off with diluted ammonia water or soda solution, and affected areas then dried.

How should lithium-ion batteries be stored?

Selecting the proper storage container and location for lithium-ion batteries is equally important for safety and longevity. Batteries should be stored in non-conductive, fireproof containers that protect them from physical damage and accidental contact with metal objects, which could cause a short circuit.

What factors should you consider when storing a lithium-ion battery?

In addition to temperature, physical damage is another critical factor to consider for safe lithium-ion battery storage. Batteries that are dented, punctured, or crushed can experience internal short circuits, which may lead to overheating, leakage, or fire.

How do you store batteries if humidity is high?

To manage humidity levels, it’s recommended to store batteries in a dry, well-ventilated area. In regions where humidity levels are high, you can use desiccants, such as silica gel packets, inside the storage container to absorb excess moisture.
