Battery Storage

[padejash]

Hi Gang - Quick Question

A friend has moved on in the vaping world and his wife (who else), says he has to get rid of all the useless stuff. This includes about a half-dozen Ego batteries (still brand new). I don't know how many or what type I'll get, there are many others clambering for his equipment. My question is: Is there some way to put these batteries in storage until I need them?

I've read that keeping them in the fridge helps, but only for a couple of months. I have used normal (alkaline) batteries for other equipment after nearly two years in a box. Can our Ego batts have the same longevity and is there something I need to do?

Many thanks in advance

If you can get them to 80% charge and keep them at less than 25 Celsius then they will store for at least a year with marginal degradation

Thanks, I may just charge these puppies when I get them and throw them in freezer.

Charged 100% advised not, better 80% to be at charge when storing young padejash. Good advice of freezer is if properly sealed it is, but heed of danger to room temperature to bring before under load to subject the battery or the lithium unleashing force will be with you.

Too wet the freezer - too moist the air.

Cold basement be better.
