cycles-illustration20090106Quick tips for keeping your battery in tip-top shape:

    • For proper maintenance of a lithium-based battery, it’s important to keep the electrons in it moving occasionally. (This means not leaving it plugged in 100% of the time
    • Fully charge and discharge your battery at least once a month.
    • Have a spare battery you don’t use to often? Don’t store it with more then a %50 charge. (if you store it fully charged for an extended period of time, the battery may experience some loss of battery capacity)
    • Be sure to store your notebook and battery at the proper temperature (Between 50 and 90 degrees Fahrenheit)
