How to Properly Store Your Battery During Winter
Updated October 24, 2023
With winter approaching, many RoadLoft conversion kit users are choosing to put their equipment on hold until spring returns. This also includes the need to store the lithium power station. In this concise article, we’ll give you tips for storing your battery properly this winter, to ensure it’s operating at peak capacity when spring returns.
Before discussing the maintenance tips, it is essential to remember that it is essential that, whether you decide to keep your conversion kit in your vehicle or store it, the chosen location is always dry.
1. Maintain connection to an electrical power source
It is recommended to keep your power station connected to an electrical power source, whether a solar panel or wall outlet, during the storage period. This practice will extend the life of the battery and ensure that it remains charged and ready for use at all times. The power station will act as a smart charger, thereby optimizing battery health.
2. An alternative in case of connection unavailability
If you cannot keep your power station connected to an electrical power source during the winter, it is recommended that you fully charge and discharge it at least once every three months. This procedure will help maintain battery health, even in the absence of a permanent connection.
3. A dry place
Moisture is the enemy not only of wood, but also of electronics. Just like the RoadLoft Conversion Kit, the Power Station should be stored in a dry environment to avoid moisture-related issues.
By carefully following these battery storage tips, you can extend the life of your power station, whether it’s an Ecoflow, Jackery, Aimtom or other model. This will allow you to get the most out of your power station over time.
