You’ve invested in top-tier batteries for your security system. But are you storing them correctly?
Storage Mistakes to Avoid
High humidity: Can corrode battery terminals and packaging.
Direct sunlight or heat: Shortens shelf life and increases self-discharge.
Mixing old and new stock: Leads to performance inconsistency in the field.
Best Practices for Battery Storage
Keep batteries in cool, dry environments (15–25°C).
Store in original packaging to prevent accidental discharge.
Use a first-in, first-out (FIFO) approach to inventory management.
Shelf Life Expectations
CR2032 Batteries & CR123A Batteries: 8–10 years
Alkaline 9V / AA / AAA: 3–5 years depending on storage conditions
Good battery storage = reliable system performance when it matters most.
