1. Lithium-ion batteries are always effectively charged, even if they have 50% charge before charging. This is because, unlike nickel-metal hydride batteries, which have a memory effect, lithium-ion batteries do not. However, it's important to note that lithium-ion batteries should not be over-discharged, as this will cause irreversible capacity loss. Start charging immediately when the device warns of low battery.
2. Never overcharge. Stop charging when the indicator light comes on after charging is complete. If the battery will not be used for a long time, remove it from the device and store it in a dry, cool place. Charge it once every 60-90 days to prevent irreversible capacity loss due to self-discharge caused by prolonged storage. The optimal storage condition for lithium-ion batteries is half-charge.
3. Use the original charger. Try to use the original lithium-ion battery charger whenever possible. Original chargers have strong compatibility and a suitable charging rate. While there are fast charging stations available now, it's advisable not to use them excessively; using them once or twice a year is understandable. Excessive current charging can also cause significant damage to the battery's internal structure.
4. Storage temperature environment. The temperature range is relatively wide, from -20℃ to 55℃, but in fact, the most suitable temperature is room temperature. From the perspective of aging, temperature may be an important reason for the gradual decline in the capacity of lithium-ion batteries.
5. Strictly follow the precautions in the instruction manual. When not in use, lithium-ion batteries should be placed in a cool, ventilated place to prevent high temperatures and humidity. Avoid riding in the rain as much as possible. Even if you do ride, take precautions to prevent water from entering the lithium-ion battery.
