Storage, Dismantling and Disposal
11.1 Storage
Long storage times without charging or
discharging the battery at regular intervals may
lead to permanent damage of the battery.
If the battery is stored at room temperature (20° C to 30° C) it
will automatically discharge at a rate of 3 - 6% per month due
to internal reactions. Storing the battery at temperatures
above room temperature should be avoided. A high storage
temperature also means greater battery self-discharge.
Batteries that are stored at room temperature should be
recharged every six months to maintain their full capacity and
service life.
