Humidity spikes the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dubizzle.com\/blog\/cars\/car-battery-corrosion-causes-removal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">corrosion of a car battery<\/a> and its terminals and disturbs the chemicals inside it. Keeping the battery clean and dry helps avoid moisture buildup.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To prevent moisture-related corrosion on a car battery during storage, ensure the storage environment is dry and well-ventilated. Consider using moisture-absorbing materials in the storage area to minimise humidity. Additionally, apply a thin layer of a corrosion inhibitor to the battery terminals to create a protective barrier against atmospheric elements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-charge-properly-beforehand\">Charge Properly Beforehand&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To protect a car battery when it is not in use, you must charge it properly beforehand. Make sure that the battery is charged between 12.7 volts to 12.8 volts. If the charging falls below 12.4 volts, it may lead to sulphation, where sulphate crystals form on the battery plates, reducing its overall capacity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, avoid battery overcharging. It can lead to electrolyte loss and potential damage. Once fully charged, disconnect the terminals to prevent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dubizzle.com\/blog\/cars\/parasitic-battery-drain\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">parasitic battery drains<\/a> during storage.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/19084343\/Safely-Store-a-Car-Battery-When-Not-In-Use-_-Body-1-17-1-24-1024x640.jpg\" alt=\"protect a car battery when not in use by charging it properly \" class=\"wp-image-110579\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/19084343\/Safely-Store-a-Car-Battery-When-Not-In-Use-_-Body-1-17-1-24-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/19084343\/Safely-Store-a-Car-Battery-When-Not-In-Use-_-Body-1-17-1-24-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/19084343\/Safely-Store-a-Car-Battery-When-Not-In-Use-_-Body-1-17-1-24-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/19084343\/Safely-Store-a-Car-Battery-When-Not-In-Use-_-Body-1-17-1-24-640x400.jpg 640w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/19084343\/Safely-Store-a-Car-Battery-When-Not-In-Use-_-Body-1-17-1-24-421x263.jpg 421w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/19084343\/Safely-Store-a-Car-Battery-When-Not-In-Use-_-Body-1-17-1-24-558x349.jpg 558w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/19084343\/Safely-Store-a-Car-Battery-When-Not-In-Use-_-Body-1-17-1-24-363x227.jpg 363w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/19084343\/Safely-Store-a-Car-Battery-When-Not-In-Use-_-Body-1-17-1-24-250x156.jpg 250w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/19084343\/Safely-Store-a-Car-Battery-When-Not-In-Use-_-Body-1-17-1-24-368x230.jpg 368w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/19084343\/Safely-Store-a-Car-Battery-When-Not-In-Use-_-Body-1-17-1-24-774x484.jpg 774w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/19084343\/Safely-Store-a-Car-Battery-When-Not-In-Use-_-Body-1-17-1-24-672x420.jpg 672w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/19084343\/Safely-Store-a-Car-Battery-When-Not-In-Use-_-Body-1-17-1-24-437x273.jpg 437w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/19084343\/Safely-Store-a-Car-Battery-When-Not-In-Use-_-Body-1-17-1-24-301x188.jpg 301w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/19084343\/Safely-Store-a-Car-Battery-When-Not-In-Use-_-Body-1-17-1-24-240x150.jpg 240w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/19084343\/Safely-Store-a-Car-Battery-When-Not-In-Use-_-Body-1-17-1-24-771x482.jpg 771w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/19084343\/Safely-Store-a-Car-Battery-When-Not-In-Use-_-Body-1-17-1-24-669x418.jpg 669w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/19084343\/Safely-Store-a-Car-Battery-When-Not-In-Use-_-Body-1-17-1-24-435x272.jpg 435w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Charge the battery up to its optimal level and monitor the charging status periodically <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-keep-tabs-on-battery-charge\">Keep Tabs on Battery Charge&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Among different ways to safely store a car battery when not in use, keeping tabs on the battery charge is important. Periodically check the charging status of a car battery that is in storage, especially if it&#8217;s stored for an extended period.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Car batteries can self-discharge over time and various factors, such as the battery&#8217;s internal resistance, contribute to this discharge. Regular voltage checks, using a multi-metre or a battery tester ensure that the battery remains at an adequate charge level. To simplify the monitoring process, consider using a battery maintainer or go for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dubizzle.com\/blog\/cars\/trickle-charging\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">trickle charging<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-clean-the-car-battery-properly\">Clean the Car Battery Properly<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To properly store a vehicle battery, first clean it properly to maintain its performance and lifespan. Use a mixture of baking soda and water or a commercial battery cleaner to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dubizzle.com\/blog\/cars\/clean-corroded-car-battery-terminals\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">clean corroded car battery terminals<\/a> and cable ends. A wire brush or an old toothbrush works well for this task. Ensure that the entire surface is clean and free from any debris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After cleaning, thoroughly rinse the terminals and cable ends to remove any remaining cleaning solution. Once dry, apply a thin layer of a specialised battery terminal protectant to the terminals. This protective coating helps prevent future corrosion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/19084354\/Safely-Store-a-Car-Battery-When-Not-In-Use-_-Body-2-17-1-24-1024x640.jpg\" alt=\"Tips to Safely Store a Car Battery When Not In Use like cleaning\" class=\"wp-image-110580\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/19084354\/Safely-Store-a-Car-Battery-When-Not-In-Use-_-Body-2-17-1-24-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/19084354\/Safely-Store-a-Car-Battery-When-Not-In-Use-_-Body-2-17-1-24-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/19084354\/Safely-Store-a-Car-Battery-When-Not-In-Use-_-Body-2-17-1-24-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/19084354\/Safely-Store-a-Car-Battery-When-Not-In-Use-_-Body-2-17-1-24-640x400.jpg 640w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/19084354\/Safely-Store-a-Car-Battery-When-Not-In-Use-_-Body-2-17-1-24-421x263.jpg 421w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/19084354\/Safely-Store-a-Car-Battery-When-Not-In-Use-_-Body-2-17-1-24-558x349.jpg 558w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/19084354\/Safely-Store-a-Car-Battery-When-Not-In-Use-_-Body-2-17-1-24-363x227.jpg 363w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/19084354\/Safely-Store-a-Car-Battery-When-Not-In-Use-_-Body-2-17-1-24-250x156.jpg 250w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/19084354\/Safely-Store-a-Car-Battery-When-Not-In-Use-_-Body-2-17-1-24-368x230.jpg 368w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/19084354\/Safely-Store-a-Car-Battery-When-Not-In-Use-_-Body-2-17-1-24-774x484.jpg 774w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/19084354\/Safely-Store-a-Car-Battery-When-Not-In-Use-_-Body-2-17-1-24-672x420.jpg 672w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/19084354\/Safely-Store-a-Car-Battery-When-Not-In-Use-_-Body-2-17-1-24-437x273.jpg 437w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/19084354\/Safely-Store-a-Car-Battery-When-Not-In-Use-_-Body-2-17-1-24-301x188.jpg 301w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/19084354\/Safely-Store-a-Car-Battery-When-Not-In-Use-_-Body-2-17-1-24-240x150.jpg 240w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/19084354\/Safely-Store-a-Car-Battery-When-Not-In-Use-_-Body-2-17-1-24-771x482.jpg 771w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/19084354\/Safely-Store-a-Car-Battery-When-Not-In-Use-_-Body-2-17-1-24-669x418.jpg 669w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/19084354\/Safely-Store-a-Car-Battery-When-Not-In-Use-_-Body-2-17-1-24-435x272.jpg 435w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Clean the battery properly before storing it to avoid any dirt or corrosion buildup <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-faqs\">FAQs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-do-you-store-a-car-battery-when-not-in-use\">How do you store a car battery when not in use?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Tips to safely store a car battery when not in use include selecting a cool and dry place, optimal battery charging and thorough cleaning to prevent corrosion.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-do-unused-batteries-degrade-over-time\">Do unused batteries degrade over time?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, unused batteries can degrade over time due to a natural process called self-discharge, where they gradually lose their charge even when not in use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-happens-if-a-car-battery-sits-too-long\">What happens if a car battery sits too long?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If a car battery sits too long without use, it can undergo self-discharge.
