Battery storage maintenance

A method comprising:

• determining, via a battery characteristic module, one or more battery characteristics for at least one battery of a device, the battery characteristics associated with a charge of the at least one battery;
• determining, via a storage period module, a storage period for the device, the storage period defining a period of time where the device is not in use;
• calculating, via a charge level module, a storage battery charge level based on the one or more battery characteristics and the storage period, the storage battery charge level comprising a minimum battery charge level that allows operation of the device after the storage period without providing additional charge to the at least one battery during the storage period;
• and
• setting, via the charge level module that interfaces with firmware of the at least one battery and prior to the storage period, a maximum charge level of the at least one battery to the storage battery charge level, such that the at least one battery is prevented from being charged beyond the storage battery charge level.

A program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing code, the code being configured to be executable by a processor to perform operations comprising:

• determining, via a battery characteristic module, one or more battery characteristics for at least one battery of a device, the battery characteristics associated with a charge of the at least one battery;
• determining, via a storage period module, a storage period for the device, the storage period defining a period of time where the device is not in use;
• calculating, via a charge level module, a storage battery charge level based on the one or more battery characteristics and the storage period, the storage battery charge level comprising a minimum battery charge level that allows operation of the device after the storage period without providing additional charge to the at least one battery during the storage period;
• and
• setting, via the charge level module that interfaces with firmware of the at least one battery and prior to the storage period, a maximum charge level of the at least one battery to the storage battery charge level, such that the at least one battery is prevented from being charged beyond the storage battery charge level.
