How to Properly Store a LiFePO₄ Battery for Long Periods of Non-Use

Recommended SoC, temperature and check intervals for long-term storage.

Proper long-term storage preserves capacity, cycle life and safety. Recommended: - Store at approximately 40%–60% SoC (about 3.2V–3.3V per cell; ~13.0V–13.2V for a 12V pack) - Keep at 15°C–25°C in a dry place - Disconnect from loads/chargers - Check voltage every 3–6 months Avoid storing at 100% SoC for long periods (accelerates aging) or at 0% SoC (risk of permanent damage).
