What is the Best Temperature to Store Batteries?

To store batteries for long term or short term periods without losing quality please use the following information based on your specific chemistry type.

Li-ion Battery

Stored in cool and dry place, temperature ：14°F to 95°F
Max humitity: 80%
Max Shelf Life: 3 years
After charging one time it is recommended to charge battery one time per month

NIMH Battery

Stored in cool and dry place, temperature: -4°F to 95°F
Max humitity: 80%
Max Shelf Life: 3-5 years
After charging one time it is recommended to charge battery one time per month

NiCD Battery

Stored in cool and dry place, temperature: 0°F to 113°F
Max humitity: 85%
Max Shelf Life: 3-5 years
After charging one time it is recommended to charge battery one time per month

Special Note for all chemistry types: After a battery has been charged batteries will be frozen in very low temperatures and will not be able to fully discharge their power and therefore will cause reduced runtime and long term damage to the cells. It is best to keep batteries stored above freezing and below 85°F.

Milwaukee M12 Battery

Nuts and Bolts:

Good Battery: Yes
Super High Tech: No
Aftermarket Comparables: Yes for less!

The Milwaukee M12 “RedLithium” battery is the newest “technology” out of Milwaukee tools. The RedLithium technology comes with the M12 and M18 tools (including Fuel and Brushless power tools).

Specific to the M12 Milwaukee has utilized Samsung’s INR18650-15R cells. But this is nothing exclusive as Samsung, LG or Sanyo cells are most commonly found in powertool batteries. But again they are not exclusive to Milwaukee. Most sellers use batteries with these cell soureces. In fact if you checkout the over 1700 different Power Tool Batteries at Batteryship.com you will find that these powertool batteries utilize either Samsung, LG or Sanyo cells.

The base M12 battery comes in a 1.5Ah battery (roughly 15% greater than the standard 1.3Ah for the standard 12V. But that is nothing spectacular for heavy powertool workers as you would want a Milwaukee M12 Battery that at a minimum delivers a 3.Ah of power like the Milwaukee M12 Battery version at www.Batteryship.com. That is the same as the M12 XC.

The M12 Battery comes with the following compatible part numbers: 48-11-2401, 48-11-2402, 48-11-2412, 48-11-2440.

Like the OEM that aftermarket version offers 12V and 3.0Ah and are optimized to operate in temperatures below 0 degrees and has integrated power management circuits to protect against over-voltage and under-voltage conditions and maximize battery life between charges, minimize charging times, and improve overall battery life.

The 12V is a 36 Watt hour battery with high current discharge to offer increased power and performance. It is 40% less weight than its NICD cousin. It offers fade free power an onboard fuel gauge to help you read battery life. Temperature Management System that keeps the battery in an ideal temperature range to provide maximum life. It offers best-in class construction for long lasting performance and an integrated welded frame. It can be used in extreme circumstances. And can be used on the M18/M12 Multivoltage (48-59-1812), M18 AC/DC (2710-20) charger.

The best thing yet is that So what is the difference? Price – the with the aftermarket version you will save yourself at least $30!

Milwaukee M18 Battery

Nuts and Bolts:

Good Battery: Yes
Super High Tech: No
Aftermarket Comparables: Yes for less!

The Milwaukee M18 Battery (RedLithium) is the newest “technology” out of Milwaukee tools. The RedLithium technology comes with the M12 and M18 tools (including Fuel and Brushless power tools).

The Milwaukee M18 18-Volt Lithium-Ion XC Battery Pack (battery part number 48-11-1828, 48-11-1815, and or N5.4330) comes in either a 1.5Ah, 3.0Ah or a 4.0Ah. The battery cells used are typically either Samsung, LG or Sanyo cells (all of which are perfectly good cell providers. Take a look at the OEM and the aftermarket Milwaukee M18 Battery and then let’s analyze both batteries.

Both of these battery packs are constructed in the same manner and will act and operate the same and will charge on the same original charger. Both versions have a battery fuel gauge, slide pack design, an intelligent circuit board, an integrated welded frame, a cell separator, lithium ion cells, and a impact and vibration rubber to provide battery pack protection during usage.

Both batteries are 18V and 3.0Ah and both are optimized to operate in temperatures below 0 degrees farenhight and both have integrated power management circuits to protect against over-voltage and under-voltage conditions and maximize battery life between charges, minimize charging times, and improve overall battery life.

As I said above both batteries have:

3.0 Amp hour – 54 Watt hour battery
High Current Discharge – Increased power and performance
Equivalent run-time with 40% less weight than an 18V NiCd battery
LITHIUM-ION battery delivers long life and run time with fade-free power
Fuel gauge onboard: Displays remaining runtime for less downtime
Integrated Overload Protection – Prevents user from damaging their cordless power tool
Temperature Management System – Keeps battery in ideal temperature range to provide maximum life
Individual Cell Monitoring – Ensures optimal charge and discharge for maximum life
Discharge Protection – Prevents cell damage from over-discharge
Integrated weld frame
Offers long-lasting performance and durability
Circuit Intelligence: Provides optimized performance and overload protection using total system communication between tool, battery and charger
Delivers fade-free power in extreme jobsite conditions
Versatility: Powers more than 40 Milwaukee M18 cordless power tools
Compatible Chargers: M18/M12 Multivoltage (48-59-1812), M18 AC/DC (2710-20)
MFG Model # : 48-11-1828
MFG Part # : 48-11-1828, 48-11-1815, and or N5.4330

So what is the difference? Price – the with the aftermarket version you will save yourself at least $30!

The Bosch 18V Battery capacity – is measured in either Ah or mAh. The higher the capacity rating, the longer your battery can last between charges (this is runtime). Battery capacity quantifies the total amount of energy stored within a battery. Generally, BatteryShip.com batteries have a mAh rating 30-100% higher than the batteries that are originally installed by the manufacturer of your device. Another way to consider a battery's capacity is by runtime (how long a battery will power a device before the battery is recharged). The higher the capacity the longer the runtime. The longer the runtime the longer you will be able to use your device without recharging the battery. More capacity equals more runtime. More runtime equals better value!
