Archived [ARCHIVED THREAD] - Storing Night Vision, What Should I Know?
Posted: 11/12/2018 7:19:23 PM EDT
Due to a temporary living situation I am likely going to store my TNVC Sentinels for 7-8 months. They will be stored in a hard case in an air conditioned environment without the battery. Any potential issues? Do they need to be turned on once in a while?

@fivefivesixphoto they should be fine. Put some dessicant in the case with them, IMO.

@TNVC to confirm this.

Alternately, you can send them to me and I’ll test them every few nights for you. Shit, I live in TX and have a nice safe inside my air conditioned house.

Storing without bats, yes.  An old ITT engineer from years past would tell me if in long storage with new units was to power on once a month "to get the electrons moving" that would mitigate any surges that would help the power supplies. Right, wrong of indifferent, the best is to remove the batts which you have done.

I keep mine in a electro static bag, desiccant pack in a pelican box
