For xiaomi BM20 and Nokia BP-5L batteries and at my home temperature 33-35C what is the best storage voltages and how often should I recharge them before dropping to a voltage that damages the batteries?

You have a mental illness. I've watched you post across multiple forums with this OCD about trying to make everything last forever in storage.

You could have simply google searched for best practices for Li-Ion battery storage, but instead, like every other topic you have created in various forums, you instead ask a question that a google search will answer.

Why?

Why would you redundantly repeat the same question so many other people have asked, then expect to place a burden on every forum you ask the question in, instead of just doing your own research?

This is very bad form, your OCD is kind of like being a jerk. Forgive my language but this summarizes it better than a lengthy analysis.

I do remember you, being told to bury everything at the bottom of the ocean in a container full of silicone packets. Several times, on other forums when you asked about item after item.

Seek professional help. There is no need to keep a phone battery working long past when the phone is obsolete tech.

Why would you make your house that hot? That has got to be brutal. I don't think it's enough to reduce life span of batteries not in use, but I know if I lived in that it would reduce my life span! lol.

He MIGHT live in a place that, unlike your frozen north, such temps aren't out of the norm.

duplicate #2 - odd, when I edited, a forum glitch made each edit a new post.

I don't remember all the details from other topics but yes, he lives in a hot, humid climate where everything allegedly suffers.

In a related topic, several topics prior, it was suggested to spend less money on the toys and put some on an air conditioner, which reduces the humidity as well as temp.

Damn I can't imagine living in a place that actually gets that hot. I would pretty much prioritize installing at least two central AC units to have redundancy. That has got to be miserable for it to be that hot inside.

This thread should be in Cases & Cooling instead of Power Supplies. :p
