BATTERY CARE

Q: Is it best to store my unit with the batteries in or out of the device if the units won't be used for a while?

A: It's best to store batteries separately, charged to 40-50 percent, in a colder environment - 0 C to 10 C.
Q: Should I charge my battery every day, even if it isn't out of power?

A: Since today's batteries no longer have a "memory effect," harming battery efficiency with daily charging is no longer an issue. You can recharge them as often as you'd like.
Q: Is there any reason to run a battery all the way down before recharging?

A: No, there's not! For the best performance, avoid completely running down your lithium cell, and charge when you reach 5 percent battery remaining.
Q: How long should I expect a battery to last with standard use? What are the signs that I should get a new battery?

A: Expected lifetime is approximately 500 charges. Typically, an old battery will drain very quickly from 100 percent to about a half charge.
