The storage conditions of zinc-nickel batteries are very important to maintain their performance and extend their service life. Therefore, their storage conditions must be strictly controlled to maintain their performance and life. Zinc-nickel batteries should be stored under the following conditions:
Temperature
Optimal storage temperature: 15°C to 25°C (59°F to 77°F) is the ideal storage temperature range. Within this temperature range, the battery can better maintain its capacity.
Allowable storage temperature range: -20°C to 35°C (-4°F to 95°F). Avoid exposing the battery to extreme high or low temperatures for a long time, as this may damage the battery’s performance.
Humidity
Relative humidity: should be controlled between 65%±20%, that is, between 45%-85%. Excessive humidity may cause corrosion or other chemical reactions inside the battery, while too low humidity may affect the sealing.
Environmental requirements
Dry and ventilated: Make sure the storage location is dry and has good air circulation to prevent moisture condensation and promote heat dissipation.
Light avoidance: Avoid direct sunlight or strong light sources to reduce temperature rise and other possible effects caused by light.
Moisture-proof measures
Moisture-proof packaging: If long-term storage is expected, it is recommended to use moisture-proof bags or other forms of moisture-proof packaging to protect the battery from moisture.
Regular maintenance
It is recommended to store at 30%~50% power. Full charge or over discharge (<10%) will accelerate electrode degradation or cause irreversible damage.
For zinc-nickel batteries that need to be stored for a long time, it is best to perform a complete charge and discharge cycle at regular intervals to activate the battery and prevent capacity loss caused by self-discharge.
Safety precautions
Keep away from fire sources: Keep away from any potential fire or heat sources when storing to ensure safety.
Correct placement: Do not stack too many layers of batteries to avoid compression and deformation of the bottom battery.
Following these storage guidelines can help ensure that zinc-nickel batteries remain in good condition during their storage and are ready to provide reliable power support when needed. In addition, always refer to the specific product instructions and technical specifications provided by the manufacturer, as different models of zinc-nickel batteries may have different storage requirements.
