Battery Storage Guide
1. Batteries MUST be stored at 59 Degrees Fahrenheit

2. Li-Ion and Li-Polymer batteries need to be treated very carefully

3. HEAT is always the enemy of batteries

4. When fully charged, elevated temperatures result in a harmful reaction between positive and negative electrodes

5. If a battery gets very hot, immediately remove it and bring it to a non-combustible surface

6. Allow good ventilation while the battery burns itself out (Water is a good method to put out a battery fire)

7. Packs of all Lithium based batteries should have dividers in between them to protect the failing cell from spreading to others

8. Nickel and Lead based batteries can cause fires too

9. The reason is due to rough handling, excessive vibration, and even too high of temperatures
