We receive many questions regarding how to prepare your batteries for storage and cold winters so wanted to share some tips for winterization of your Epoch batteries:
- Charge the Battery: Charge the battery to a partial level, aiming for 50-80%.
- Disconnect All Loads: Ensure that any connected devices or loads are disconnected.
- Power Off the Battery: For models equipped with a power button, turn off the battery to conserve power during storage.
- Store in Ideal Conditions: Place the battery in a cool, dry location with an ambient temperature between 32-77°F for optimal preservation.
- Monthly Voltage Check: Once per month, check the battery’s voltage and recharge as necessary to maintain a healthy charge level.
- Fully Recharge After Storage: When you’re ready to bring the battery out of storage, fully recharge it to 100% to re-calibrate the system and ensure maximum performance.
Following these steps will help maintain the longevity and performance of your Epoch batteries during the off-season.
STORAGE - MINIMUM TEMPERATURES
For up to 1 month storage, the batteries can be kept in temperatures as low as -20°C/-4°F.
For storage longer than 1 month, the recommended minimum temperature is 0°C/32°F
