Stupid question, but figured I would ask here first instead of making a noob mistake.
I'm going to store my NVGs in a plastic ammo can (well padded of course) and then in my safe. Is there any issue with storing in a plastic can? Static electricity? I figure pelican cases are plastic so it should be OK. |

No, as long as you take the batteries out and in a controlled temp of course with no extremes. Too many nightmare stories at times with exploded batteries. Hope this helps.

Vic So the reason for not storing batteries in your NOD or other accessories is because the batteries explode?! |

Alkaline batteries will leak when they die due to gas build up which ruptures the casing. Lithium batteries have a vent to prevent this. Exploding is extreme but leaking corrosive acid is never good for electronics and is easily avoided by removing batteries in storage. |

Vic Glad Dino brought up Lith's...Good investment to use these types of batts. They also work very well in extreme cold temps as well.
