How long can lithium batteries be stored without use?

  • by

Lithium batteries, including primary lithium batteries, can generally be stored for up to 10 years with only moderate capacity loss. To maximize their lifespan and maintain their performance, follow these storage guidelines:

  1. Remove from Equipment: Always take the batteries out of any devices or equipment before storing them.
  2. Cool and Dry Place: Store the batteries in a cool, dry environment. Avoid areas with high humidity or temperature extremes.
  3. Avoid Freezing: Ensure that the batteries do not freeze, as this can damage their internal components and reduce their lifespan.

For specialized lithium batteries like DEESPAEK LiFePO4, it’s essential to monitor their charge levels and environmental conditions regularly to extend their reliability and performance.
