AW Batteries in storage... what charge should I keep them at for longer life?

ash9nine · Nov 17, 2019

Hi, what charge should I keep AW batteries at for longer life in storage? Storage = ones I am not using at the moment.

From memory, it is approx. 3.7-3.8.

Just want to confirm.

Apologies, if this question is asked. I tried to use the search option but got all ads and google didn't bring anything up related to my question.

Thanks,
Ash

Honestly, AW cells are all tired now, since they ceased production in the fall of '17.

Use them and abuse them and look to other brands for new stuff.

I have AW cells that are still going pretty strong. 2 black label 18650 Li-ions. 2 red label 18650 Li-Mn. And a black label and 3 red label 16340s.

Yeah, 2 years old isn't that old for lithium-ions. They should still have plenty of life left in them.
