How lithium-ion batteries enrich our everyday lives
Lithium-ion batteries are by no means to be demonized. They bring numerous advantages in daily use. What is important is the conscious and correct handling of lithium-ion batteries and electrical devices.
Our RETRON BOX as preventive battery protection for your home
Our practical RETRON BOX makes safe charging, storage and transport of your rechargeable batteries child's play.
What you should pay attention to when handling lithium batteries
To keep lithium-ion batteries efficient and avoid potential damage or fires, keep the following points in mind when storing and charging them:
Store the battery separately from the device
Remove the lithium-ion battery from the electrical device and store it separately to avoid chemical reactions and damage to the device.
No unattended charging without battery protection box
You should not leave lithium-ion batteries unattended during charging. Unless you have a fireproof box in which the battery can be charged with the lid closed and through a cable guide. By the way, the best case is to charge the batteries at room temperature.
Select a cool and dry storage location
Store the batteries at temperatures between 6 and 15 degrees Celsius to avoid overheating. Make sure that the storage location is dry,
to prevent contact with water.
Avoid high temperatures
Do not store the batteries in high temperatures, or direct sunlight to avoid damage. Keep a minimum distance of 2.5 meters from other combustible materials if no automatic extinguishing systems are available. Accordingly, a garden shed, for example, is not an ideal place to safely store or charge your e-bike, or power tools.
Protection from mechanical damage
Make sure that the batteries are protected from shocks and damage to prevent short circuits. Since it is sometimes not so easy to assess the condition of the battery, the lithium battery should be charged and stored in a fireproof box.
Check the state of charge regularly
Check the state of charge regularly, especially during longer storage periods. An occasional short charge every 3 to 4 months can prevent deep discharge.
Store damaged rechargeable batteries safely
Store damaged or defective rechargeable batteries in special safety containers until they can be disposed of. Keep them in a segregated area.
Prevent deep discharge
Store batteries at 50 to 70 percent capacity to prevent deep discharge. It can occur if the battery is completely discharged and not recharged within 1-2 weeks. A typical scenario: discharging the battery almost or completely in the fall without recharging it afterwards. In the spring, the battery may then be unusable and pose a high potential hazard during the charging process.
Follow manufacturer's instructions
In addition to our tips, follow the manufacturer's storage instructions and information on the product data sheets. In the best case, always use the original charger.

Safe handling of the e-bike battery: application example
Application example: You store your e-bike and the associated lithium battery in a garden shed that is exposed to direct sunlight. On the last e-bike tour, the battery may have been damaged without your knowledge, which makes the charging process of this battery even more dangerous. Or you have taken your e-bike with you on vacation, which can become a real endurance test for the battery: during the transport, the e-bike battery can easily be damaged and safe storage and charging is also even more difficult on the road.
The solution: In our RETRON BOX, you can safely store your e-bike battery - whether in the garden shed, garage, basement or in the mobile home. The integrated cable routing in the box enables safe charging of the lithium battery at any location and reliably protects you from possible short-circuit reactions. Should your e-bike battery be damaged or deformed, you can immediately lock it in our battery protection box and bring it safely to a disposal point. Or you can contact us and our specialists will take care of the disposal of critical batteries for you. RETRON - the extremely safe and simple solution for handling your batteries.
