How to Store Your Lithium Batteries: Essential Tips for RV Owners
As more RV owners switch to lithium batteries, a common question arises: How do I store my Lithium Batteries? Fortunately, storing these batteries is straightforward and requires minimal effort.
Key Points
- No Need for Removal: There is no requirement to remove your Dragonfly Lithium batteries from your RV for storage.
- Temperature Tolerance: Dragonfly Lithium Batteries are safe to use in temperatures as low as -40 degrees Fahrenheit.
Steps for Proper Storage
- Fully Charge the Batteries
Ensure your Dragonfly Lithium batteries are charged to 100% before storage. This helps maintain their health and longevity. - Turn Off the Battery Heat Switch
If you’re not planning to actively charge the batteries, there’s no need for them to heat themselves, so turn off the battery heat switch. - Disconnect the Giggy Box
Turn off the Giggy Box battery disconnect to ensure no power is drawn from the batteries during storage. - Turn Off Inverter Disconnect
If your RV is equipped with an inverter, switch its disconnect to OFF. - Turn Off Solar Panel Disconnect
For RVs with a PV Solar Panel Disconnect switch (usually located next to your Smart Solar Charge Controller), make sure to turn this off as well.
