Electronics are sturdy, but if you are storing items like big screen tv's, then you should consider getting a temperature-controlled storage unit. Some electronics don't do well with extreme cold and humid temperatures. It is ideal for viewing the temperature when storing these types of items.

2.Sort it all out

Get your cords, cables, computer accessories, game consoles, etc. into one box. Group them according to the size, functionality, device, or what items go together. It makes it easier for you to find it when you need it.

Keep your wires in a bundle with ties untangled in the box. Keep your adapters or connectors with their respective cables or plugs so that you won't be finding the other half of the item when you pull it out.

3.Remove any batteries

If you plan to store your electronics for a long time, permanently remove the batteries as they will eventually die and leak out. It can cause the items to be eroded and damage any internal elements and other things stored along with the electronics. Keep the batteries stored at home.

4.Have them on shelves


It depends on the items that you have. You might want to consider placing them on shelves. If you are to store it at the bottom, it might be stacked up on heavier boxes and end up at the bottom of the pile. Shelves can helps prevent your storage unit from becoming cluttered.

5.Not everything is worth keeping

It is much more efficient when storing items if you ask yourself if you need to keep them. It saves you space for other items to be stored. Before storing, sort them out from the things you'll be holding, selling, recycling, or donating.
