Optimal storage conditions are : Clean and dry location Temperature below 25°C (10°C would be optimal if you want my opinion) I dont know about your location. In my case, winter is cold (-10°C average) so I use the garage for battery storage. My garage is heated at 12°C so the humidity level is low and the temperature is good. Keeping the
The EU Batteries Regulation aims to ensure that batteries placed on the European market are sustainable and safe throughout their life cycle, covering all actors and their activities. The new Regulation entered into force on 17 August 2023, replacing the Battery Directive 2006/66/EC which will expire two years later with some exemptions.
Sizing a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) correctly is essential for maximizing energy efficiency, ensuring reliable backup power, and achieving cost savings.Whether for a commercial, industrial, or residential setting, properly sizing a BESS allows users to store and utilize energy in a way that meets their specific needs. At EverExceed, we

Being a quite complex domain, battery storage requires sound expertise to overcome its challenges and identify operational applications. Battery storage uses are wide with many possible applications at different power system scales and for a variety of stakeholders. A thorough R&D analysis of possible applications is required beforehand.
As of 1 January 2027, industrial and electric-vehicle batteries with internal storage will have to declare the content of recycled cobalt, lead, lithium and nickel contained therein. From 1
The Regulation mandates minimum recycled content requirements for industrial batteries with a capacity greater than 2 kWh, excluding those with exclusively external storage, EV batteries, and SLI batteries.
These include performance and durability requirements for industrial batteries, electric vehicle (EV) batteries, and light means of transport (LMT) batteries; safety standards for stationary battery energy storage systems (SBESS); and information requirements on SOH and expected lifetime.
Performance and Durability Requirements (Article 10) Article 10 of the regulation mandates that from 18 August 2024, rechargeable industrial batteries with a capacity exceeding 2 kWh, LMT batteries, and EV batteries must be accompanied by detailed technical documentation.
The Regulation mandates minimum recycled content requirements for industrial batteries with a capacity greater than 2 kWh, excluding those with exclusively external storage, EV batteries, and SLI batteries. The minimum percentage shares of the recycled content are as follows:
The Commission proposes that existing restrictions on the use of hazardous substances in all battery types are maintained, in particular for mercury and cadmium. Furthermore, as of 1 July 2024, rechargeable industrial and electric vehicles batteries with internal storage placed on the Union market will have to have a carbon footprint declaration.
The new Regulation on batteries establish sustainability and safety requirements that batteries should comply with before being placed on the market. These rules are applicable to all batteries entering the EU market, independently of their origin.
The battery regulation introduces a phased implementation schedule to help manufacturers and stakeholders adapt to new sustainability and transparency requirements. The regulation officially comes into force, with initial obligations focusing on safety, performance, and labelling.
