Temperature and placement: where to place your battery safely

Choosing the right place for your home battery

The location of your home battery significantly affects both safety and lifetime. Leafy Energy helps you pick and monitor this location.

Ideal location characteristics

• Dry and well-ventilated, not constantly damp.
• Protected from direct sunlight and extreme heat.
• Kept out of reach of children and pets.

Places to avoid

• Right next to flammable materials (cardboard, curtains, fuels).
• Inside a sealed cupboard without ventilation.
• In rooms that are known to flood or get very wet.

Temperature alerts in Leafy Energy

In the app you can configure temperature alerts. During prolonged heat or cold, Leafy Energy suggests actions such as “Consider extra ventilation” or “Ask your installer about relocating the battery to a milder environment”.
