How long can I keep the new lithium battery without using it?

Lithium batteries are not used for a long time, to be charged and stored in a cool, dry place. Every 3 to 5 months to keep its supplementary charge, so as to maintain its capacity will not be "shrinkage".

Lithium batteries can be stored for long periods of time.

Lithium batteries have a bad characteristic - self-discharge, self-discharge is related to the voltage (charge the amount of power, that is, charging the saturation state), so the lithium batteries should be stored for a long time to charge a certain amount of power, and lithium batteries in the process of storage capacity will be lost (lithium batteries with the effectiveness), lithium batteries charged with the amount of power and the temperature of the storage will affect the lithium batteries capacity, the following are the different temperatures and the temperature of the lithium batteries. Battery charged state, the remaining capacity of lithium batteries after one year of storage:

Storage temperature - 40% charge state -------100% charge state

0 degrees -------------98% ------------- -----94%

25 degrees -----------96%------------------80%

40 degrees -----------85%------------------65%

60 degrees -----------75%-------- ----------60%
