is advisable to cycle the battery several times to resume
the battery capacity. Use good inventory practices (first in,
first out ) to reduce time cells spend in storage.

Leakage and rusting of metal parts are accelerated
in high humidity environments, especially those with

4.2.5 Capacity Recovery
In normal practice, stored cells will provide full capacity on
the first discharge after removal from storage and charging
with standard methods. Cells stored for an extended
period or at elevated temperatures may require more than
one cycle to attain pre-storage capacities. Consultation
with the manufacturer is recommended if prolonged
storage and rapid restoration of capacity is requested.
