Just be sure to pull it out and fully charge it when you're ready to use it in the spring! I'd also recommend storing your reader in a dry room indoors, if possible.</P> Sat, 26 Dec 2020 00:33:07 GMT https://community.squareup.com/t5/Archived-Discussions-Read-Only/Long-term-storage-of-card-reader/m-p/229846#M16241 Valentina 2020-12-26T00:33:07Z
