Simple Guidelines in Caring For Li-Ion Batteries
• Avoid frequent full discharges because this puts additional strain on the
battery. Several partial discharges with frequent recharges are better for
lithium-ion than one deep one. Recharging a partially charged lithium-ion
does not cause harm because there is no memory. Any short battery life is
mainly cause by heat rather than charge/discharge patterns.
• Keep the lithium-ion battery cool. Avoid a hot car. For prolonged storage,
keep the battery at a 40% charge level.
• Avoid purchasing spare lithium-ion batteries for later use. Observe
manufacturing dates due to their requirement for regular charge cycling.
• If running a spare lithium-ion battery, use one to the fullest and keep the
other cool by placing it in the refrigerator. Do not freeze the battery. For best
results, store the battery at 40% state-of-charge
