Results of experiments on storage of ultracold neutrons (UCN) with energies in the range (10--30) x 10/sup -9/ eV are presented. The UCN storage time for an aluminum vessel was found to depend on the temperature of the walls. The energy spectra of UCN stored in a copper vessel for different times were measured. It is shown that the time averaged increase in the energy of a UCN in a single collision with the wall does not exceed approx.0.7 x 10/sup -10/ eV.
