Prior to storage or drop-off:
- Cover both battery terminals with clear packing tape. The label must be visible.
- Alternatively, you could place each rechargeable battery in a separate, sealed plastic bag.
- This is important because battery terminals that touch metal surfaces or other batteries can spark, causing a fire.
- Do not store batteries for more than six months. Shorter storage times may be recommended by some manufacturers.
