It shouldn\u2019t be surprising to find yourself awash in computers, tablets, gaming consoles, home theater equipment, office equipment, and more.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Perhaps it\u2019s simply <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.priceselfstorage.com\/blog\/declutter-your-home-checklist\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">time to declutter<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> all the extra electronics from your home. Maybe you&#8217;re downsizing your home office or need to move your electronics during a renovation. Whatever the reason, you\u2019re looking to store your electronics. Take care when <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">storing electronic components<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">; they require special handling to prevent damage. You must understand <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">how to store electronics<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> properly so your devices remain in the same condition when taken out of storage as they were when placed in it.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why Store Electronics in a Storage Unit?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your electronics are small enough, you might be able to pack them away in a home closet or the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.priceselfstorage.com\/blog\/reclaim-the-garage-for-your-car\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">garage<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, but these might not be ideal storage solutions. If you have limited storage in your home, giving up any closet space might be painful or make your home feel cluttered. Alternatively, garages can face extreme temperature swings and fluctuations in humidity, which isn\u2019t good for the longevity of your electronics.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instead, consider <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">storing your electronic equipment<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in a storage unit. First, you will get a lot of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.priceselfstorage.com\/self-storage\/size-guide\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">storage size options<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, from 5&#215;5 storage lockers up to 10&#215;20 units and larger. Next, depending on the facility, you might be able to rent a climate-controlled unit. Finally, most storage facilities include security measures, like electronic gates and security cameras.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Preparing Your Electronics for Storage<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before you pack all your electronics into your vehicle and head down to your chosen storage facility, take the time to prepare your electronics properly. Good preparation before <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">storing your electronic components<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> will protect them in storage and help ensure they remain in working condition.\u00a0<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Back up your data: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before storing any computers, laptops, or smartphones, back up all your important data to an external drive or cloud service.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Clean your electronics: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remove dust using compressed air and wipe exterior surfaces with an antistatic cloth. Gently clean ports and connectors.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Remove batteries: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Batteries can leak or corrode over time. Take them out of your remotes, clocks, flashlights, toys, power tools, and more.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Organize accessories: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Label all cords, components, and cables. Secure cables and cords with twist ties or Velcro straps. Pack accessories with their corresponding devices.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Use original packing: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you still have a device\u2019s original packaging, use it. Original boxes are designed to protect your device and all of its components.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to Store Electronics<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for Storage<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Good preparation is half the game when <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">storing electronic equipment<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, but how<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">you store your devices also matters.\u00a0<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Choose climate-controlled storage: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Big temperature swings and humidity are the biggest threats to your devices. If you have been wondering <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">how to protect electronic devices from humidity<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the answer is to rent a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.priceselfstorage.com\/blog\/do-i-need-climate-controlled-storage\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">climate-controlled storage unit<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. These units allow you to maintain a consistent temperature and humidity level in your storage unit.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Use proper packing material: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you no longer have your device\u2019s original box and packing material, you can still safely pack your electronics. Start with a sturdy <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.priceselfstorage.com\/blog\/the-wonderful-world-of-boxes-finding-boxes\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">cardboard box<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or heavy-duty plastic bin. Wrap your device in antistatic bubble wrap or foam for cushioning.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Keep excess moisture out: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Add silica gel packets to any box that holds electronics. This will help absorb any tiny bits of moisture that make it into your unit.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Keep electronics off the floor: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Floors can attract moisture. Instead, put your boxed electronics on a shelving unit or stack them on other, less-sensitive items in your unit.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Leave space: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Leave a little space between your boxes to promote airflow. This helps prevent moisture buildup.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>No heavy stacking: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t place heavy items or boxes on top of your boxes of electronics, especially if you\u2019re using cardboard boxes.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Storing Different Types of Electronics<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While it\u2019s helpful to know <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">how to store electronics<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> generally, certain electronics have unique storage requirements. Here\u2019s how to follow best storage practices with some of your most common household devices.<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Computers and laptops: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Store desktop computers in an upright position. If you can, use the original boxes and packaging. Remove hard drives if you plan to store your computers and laptops for a while. Use antistatic bags for any sensitive components.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>TVs and monitors: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep screens upright and never lay them flat. Cover displays with soft blankets to prevent scratches. Try not to place anything against the screens.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Gaming consoles: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you don\u2019t have the original boxes, wrap consoles in antistatic materials. Add some cushioning around ports and buttons.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Audio equipment: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Package speakers, amplifiers, and stereo equipment separately to protect delicate knobs and switches. Keep speakers away from magnetic sources. Store upright to protect all internal components.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Protect Your Devices for the Long Term<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your electronic devices are valuable, and there\u2019s a good chance that you will have reason to use them again.

This will help prevent damage from big temperature swings and humidity. You will also want to clean all devices before storage, remove batteries, back up important data, and store your devices in their original boxes if possible.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What steps should I take to prepare electronics for storage?\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Begin by backing up all data from your computers, tablets, and smartphones. Clean all your devices and remove their batteries to prevent corrosion. Label and organize all cables and accessories. Take photos of cable connections so you can put everything back together correctly. Finally, create an inventory of all your stored devices so you remember what you have.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How can I protect electronic devices from humidity<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in storage?\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Humidity is one of the biggest dangers when it comes to <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">storing electronic equipment<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. To avoid changes in humidity, rent a climate-controlled storage unit. Other ways to manage humidity include adding silica gel packets to your storage containers, storing your items in sealed plastic bins, and keeping electronics off the floors of your storage unit.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What are the best materials to use when <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">storing electronic equipment<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The best way to store your electronic devices is to use the original packaging. However, if you no longer have the original box, wrap your devices in antistatic bubble wrap or foam padding. Put your devices in heavy-duty plastic bins with secure lids.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What common mistakes should I avoid when storing electronics?\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Common mistakes when <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">storing electronic components<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> include not backing up your data and leaving batteries in your devices. If your device should be damaged, you might lose all your information. Batteries can be the cause of that damage if they corrode. Another big mistake is not storing your electronics in a climate-controlled storage unit.
