What are the storage methods for the battery of mining electric locomotive?

There are two types of batteries for mining electric locomotives: wet storage and dry storage. The reason for the naming of wet and dry is whether there is electrolyte in the battery. The specific storage method is as follows:

Wet storage method: After checking the battery and confirming that there is no problem, fully charge the battery, then put it in a cool and dry place and keep the lithium battery and the environment clean. And in order to ensure the performance of the battery, it is best to charge it once every one to two months, or even use it. The general wet storage method is recommended for short-term storage, that is, within 6 months.

Dry storage method: Use a discharge rate of 20H to discharge all the electricity in the battery, then pour out the electrolyte, rinse the battery with clean water, then dry the water, and finally dry it for a while before sealing it for storage. The dry storage method is suitable for long-term storage, and it needs to be charged like a new battery before it is used again.

The above are the two storage methods for mining electric locomotive batteries.
