Avoid storing with heavy objects
Most electronic devices are light, but even so, you should be aware of weight limitations. Never store lightweight or sensitive electronics on top of each other, as this can cause unintended damage. Additionally, objects stored close together can generate additional heat which – as you know – is something to avoid.

Given that you’re storing electronics in a mobile pod, you may decide to move them when convenient. But, moving is another potential for damage. If storage is not secure in transition, damage can occur during movement when electronics bump or shift.
You can do this by storing items in boxes and strapping them down. But extra care must be taken even when doing so. Electronic devices stored too tightly or improperly can also lead to damage.
Label and organize
