How to Store Ryobi Lithium Batteries for Maximum Longevity

Battery Care Tips 

Extreme Temperatures 

• Avoid charging or storing batteries in extreme heat or cold. Try to keep the temperature of battery storage and charging locations between 10°C and 37°C. 
• Before using in cold weather, store batteries at room temperature or slightly warmer.
• The battery can be used in temps down to -10°C, simply put the battery in a tool and use in a light duty application. Eventually the battery will heat up and resume normal operation. 

Storage 

• Do not store batteries fully discharged for long periods — store them partially charged (minimum 30-50%) and in an environment below 27°C. 
• Store RYOBI batteries in a sheltered location, away from extreme temperatures and humidity. 
• Avoid direct sunlight, rain, fire (direct heat) or other environmental extremes. 
• Do not store in a vehicle. 

Battery Type 

• Use the right battery for your tool and task. 
• For higher power needs, use larger battery packs:  

  * 18V ONE+ 4Ah: Ideal for Circular Saws, Reciprocating Saws, Belt Sanders.
  * 18V ONE+ 8Ah: Recommended for garden tools like Mowers, Bench top tools. 

Maintenance 

• Keep battery and tool contacts clean for better connection and longer life. 
• Wipe with a dry cloth to remove dirt or debris.
