Whats the best way to care for my lithium-ion battery?
All batteries require some maintenance to ensure optimal performance. Lithium-ion batteries are state-of-the-art and require minimal maintenance. Since they do not experience any of the “memory effect” of older battery technologies, they do not need to be drained prior to recharging. Prior to storing your battery apply a full charge to it. Anticipate that your battery will discharge on its own during storage, so it should be “topped off” every 45-60 days to prevent it from over-discharging, or draining completely. Note: Due to the unique electronics within the TriNewt Wireless battery, it should be recharged about every two weeks to prevent over-discharge. After a long period of storage, the battery should perform when put back into use if it has been properly cared for. However, battery cells have a shelf-life of between 3-5 years and they degrade despite how much or how little use they undergo. This shelf-life will affect how the battery performs after a long period of storage.
