For temporary storage of INV inverter systems and batteries prior to installation, select a clean, cool,
dry location with normal ventilation for human habitation and level floors.
Storage Temperature:
Store all batteries at 0° to +40° C (32° to +104° F). Batteries will have a longer shelf life if stored at 15°
C (60° F). The INV electronics and battery cabinets may be stored at -20° to +60° C (-4° to +140° F).

Lengthy storage of batteries will cause irreversible damage to the cells.
Failure to connect INV inverter system batteries to an energized charging circuit within 90 days from
the date of shipment will void the battery warranty.
 Explosive - Can Cause Blindness Or Other Severe Injuries
Every type of battery can produce hydrogen gas, even sealed, maintenance-free batteries. The gas is
vented through the vent caps and into the air. Do not allow smoking, sparks, or flames in battery
stor-age location because hydrogen is concentrated under the vent cap of each cell of the battery.
Hydro-gen is highly explosive, and is hard to detect because it is colorless, odorless, and lighter than
air.

Lead Calcium batteries will be less efficient at temperatures below 20° C (68° F), and high tempera-
tures will reduce battery life. Typically, at 35° C (95° F), battery life will be half of what it would be at
normal temperature of 25° C (77° F). At 45° C (113° F), battery life will be one-fourth of normal.
