Request panels, how to preserve them?

[reybent]

Hi! I have a extra set of panels for my Request. My problem is how should I preserve them? I don`t really want to use them right yet, since the pair in Request now are still good.. Should I pack and seal them away in a warm or cold rom? Will moist or heat weaken them?

I hear that the panels starts to get "bad" after 15-20 years with average use.
When not using it, will the quality of new panels be bad afters years stocked away?.. I read something crazy that you can wash the panels? (nothing strong or so, but water and maybe mild soap) is this true and safe?

Keep the panels in a cool, dry, dark and clean Place. Cover them so dust cannot get to them. This is about the best you can do. Don’t forget ML only warranties new panels for a year ( I think) you may want to test them out to make sure they work.
