Storing Batteries

[VapeVillian]

Hey all, need some advice. I have a bunch of new, used, and married batteries that I'm not currently using. Is it best to store them fully charge or around 75% charged?

Thanks all

Since you already have new batteries, why keep the old ones that you don't need? Just give or throw them away.

I would store new batteries in the fridge at 50% charge.

I keep the used ones for just in case. Many are married, but I seldom use most of the devices anymore, but do like to pull em out on occasion.

I have a bunch of new ones from getting them on sale and what not, but I'm not sure I will be using them anytime soon. Not sure if I can store them in the fridge as I have over 100 unused batteries LoLz.

You're supposed to store them at their nominal voltage. 3.7 volts. Any higher or lower stresses them and will greatly reduce their lifespan.

+1, nominal voltage and the cooler the better.

Yep. Thats why a lot of people keep their alkaline batts in the freezer.

3.5-3.9 volts is best.

I keep my old batts charged for the times I forget to charge my main batts over night.
Like last night, I forgot to put 4 of my 5 pairs of 25R5s in the charger and drained the 5th pair in the morning. But no big deal since I have my 3 pairs of old VTC4s and 3 pairs old 25R2s all charged up and ready for use.
