Battery

[HemiHonda]

I'd like to stock up on my already existing mountain of batteries. LG HG2 are what I'll be buying. My question...I live in Arizona and it's hot as bleep out now. I order all batteries online so they may be sitting in the mailbox for an hour before I can get to them after work. What's the highest temp those batteries can be exposed to?

@Mooch, I'm sure you could give me the answer. Thanks!

Anything over about 45°C starts accelerating their aging.
Over about 75°C and you start getting a bit of damage.
At about 130°C-160°C they can vent.
At about 230°C-270°C they can go into thermal runaway.

For that short amount of time they should be ok.

Thank you sir!

Thank you sir!

But why to stockpile batteries? They will be around for a long time. FDA can do
nothing with them.

Good question, lol...just to have some extras on hand I suppose.

FYI, the normal storage temp of 18650 cell is between -20~60C, you can also find if there's the data sheet available.
