[Q] Best way to store battery?

[Sunny88]

Hi there, just wanted to know what is the best way to store a battery which won't be in use anymore..I bought a 1900mah Anker for my sensation off of ebay. Arrived in packaging from Amazon.. Anyways do I fully discharge the official HTC battery and put it away or charge it to 100% and then store it away. I don't want the battery to leak or get damaged as I won't be using it anymore. Any help would be appreciated

You should put it in your refrigerator as ions and chemical breaks down are slowed in constant cool temperature make. Put it in a shelve with humidity control on low.

As for battery levels. Keep it around 40-50%. Do not drain it..

This.


Neither full nor empty. Notice the state of charge of the Anker when you first got it?

Yep your right mate, I took my original battery out at 52% and upon inserting the anker it was already at 60%. Said to charge it fully and let it drain. Complete charge is done. Let's see how long it lasts. I know its not even had 1 cycle yet but its been 100% for about an hour now
