Each individual battery cabinet can potentially cause a fire. Any damage to a battery cabinet will increase the fire risk.
To minimize the risks during storage, the following points must be observed:
Do not remove the battery modules from the battery cabinet.
The battery cabinet must be stored as a whole in a dry indoor environment.
Do not tilt the battery cabinet and place it on a level surface suitable for its weight.
Check the condition of the battery at least every 12 months.
For long-term storage, check the battery state of charge at least every 6 months. The state of charge should be kept between 30% and 50%.
Observe the locally applicable fire regulations at all times during storage.
Clearly label the storage room from the outside as a lithium-ion battery storage location.
