Best way to store NIMH and Lion batteries?
What is the best way to store NIMH and Lion batteries? I am thinking
about long term storage for many years. They will not be used during storage. Is it better to freeze them? Should they be charged or discharged before storage? Do they need periodic attention, such as recharging or "renewing"? How can I make them last as long as possible? TIA - Tom |

No matter what you do, they will chemically degrade. The max shelf life is
about 2 to 3 years. Freezing them, infact may cause some internal corrosion and damage over the long term. -- Greetings, Jerry Greenberg GLG Technologies GLG ========================================= WebPage http://www.zoom-one.com Electronics http://www.zoom-one.com/electron.htm ========================================= wrote in message ...

I have some that are older than that and still working fine, but then they get somewhat regular use. |
