Seems like there lots of opinions on temperature storage on these batteries ranging from 77F degrees to 105 or 149F. My ego 56v batteries (5 and 9 AHs ) are 400 plus to replace so want them last as long as possible. I also brought in my 12V and 21v also.
Even with garage well ventilated the temperature builds about same in late afternoons to early evening. I figure I got over 600 Bucks in these batteries and want them to last long as possible. I also let them cool before recharging.
I checked my car battery temps after trip it’s temps are 110 to 115F nothing I can do about that except raise car hood to let heat out so it don’t set there and cook. I guess that’s why car batteries don’t last very long here in Florida?

I've kept mine in the garage for year, no difference in life. As for the car batteries, there is more to it that just that. Depends on where you live.
