Battery Storage

[Skvez]

Be aware that 'dry' batteries (batteries supplied without the acid) are likely to become very difficult to get. The way they are made results in a higher amount of sulphuric acid cloud escaping into the environment and as a result lots of countries have legislation in the works to ban their manufacture.
Also dry cell batteries while having a much longer shelf life than wet batteries tend to have a poorer operational characteristics than a wet battery of the same size/weight. As a result many battery users are leaning away from dry batteries preferring to rely on just-in-time supply chains to get wet batteries to their point of use when required.
