1392184	2015-01-15 00:25:00	Hi all. I've been give some cellphone batteries. Brand new, but old stock and never been charged or used. Dated 26/04/2009 & 18/07/2009. My question is, storeage. As there any special way to store them and should they be charged before hand? Thanks for any input, Ian.	ianhnz (4263)

Each has it's own quirks. What are you planning to do with them? They are Lithium Ion. What happen was the battery in my ZTE R1 was dieing, on lasting a day. Not being a smart phone, used to last 3-4 days. I googled and email a few places and was unable to get any, so I emailed ZTE New Zealand. A very nice person emailed back and said she would send one at, at no charge. Great. A few days latter gets another email said they found another 2 and would send those as well. First one arrived, no problem charged up Monday night and still over 1/2 full. 2nd lt arrived and wrong model batteries. So was just thinking to store them, I guess, rather than throw away.	ianhnz (4263)

Dated 26/04/2009 & 18/07/2009. 5 year shelf life, so end of life anyway........may still be OK Ideally , you would store them at approx 80% charge. Thats not practical so charge them & & store in the fridge.	1101 (13337)
