A. Preparing the battery for storage<br />
After re-establishing the electrolyte level [see "Testing and<br />
Troubleshooting", para. 1.B.(3)], discharge the battery with a constant<br />
current of 26.5 A until the voltage across the terminals falls to 21 V<br />
D.C.<br />
Using non acid petroleum jelly or neutral light machine oil (non acid),<br />
lightly coat the exposed areas of the terminals, nuts, intercell<br />
connector links and connector receptacle contacts, and the metal parts<br />
which are likely to be damaged by atmospheric agents.<br />
Install the cover and place the battery in its normal upright position.<br />
B. Storage premises<br />
Store the equipment in a dust-free, dry area.<br />
C. Temperature requirements<br />
The battery can be stored between -60 and +60C (-76 to 140F).<br />
Optimum storage temperatures range from 0 to +30C (+32 to +86F).<br />
D. Storage life<br />
10 years from date of manufacture<br />
