Hi guys, I just bought a modlite OKW and 4 extra keeppower 18650 batteries. I am currently charging 2 of them and the other 2 I don't plan on using for quite some time. if I am not gonna use these batteries for 6 months to a year do I just leave them be or should I charge half way for storing?
I believe for modlites battery they reccomend that the first time you charge it you should charge the battery all the way. I have read your suppose to store with a 50% charge not 100%. So that kinda conflicts if I am gonna store them but first charge is suppose to be 100% not really sure what the best move would be.
I plan to store one backup battery in my rifles stock. With cr123 I put some cotton balls in then the batteries and then another cotton ball so it doesn't rattle, is this ok to do with an 18650 I plan to only keep one in there. I live in wi where it can get very cold in the winter if that matters
Thanks in advance
