How can I extend STIHL battery life?
Batteries should be ideally stored in a cool, dry place. If your garage or shed doesn’t have heating or cooling, consider storing the battery in a more controlled environment. For a maximum battery life, store the battery at an ambient temperature between 50 °F and 68 °F. Modern lithium-ion batteries, such as those used by STIHL, can be stored between -10 and +50 degrees Celsius. However, frost-free places such as dry cellar rooms, the garage or a well-insulated shed are ideal. The exact storage temperatures for your STIHL cordless tool can be found in the operating instructions.
