Do not locate batteries in place exposed to direct sun light, rain dust and adverse environments. Such exposure will cause damage to plastic components and may reduce battery life drastically. If the battery is not to be installed upon receipt, storage indoors is recommended. The batteries should be stored at a temperature of 15˚C-30˚C, in a clean, dry environment and provided with a freshening charge at intervals mentioned in point no.14. To prevent damage, do not stack wooden crates or battery packing cases one above the other,

Luminous batteries have expected shelf life as indicated in the table below . During the storage interval (i.e. between date of shipment and date of installation),For batteries stored at 270C, a freshening charge should be given once in every six(6) months. Storage at elevated temperatures will result in accelerated self-discharge as indicated below.

Storage beyond these periods without charge will result in excessive sulphation of plates and degrade battery performance and life.
